Wake up and it's gone
Morning sun so strong
Hours race along
No time to rewind

Minutes slip away
Can't make them stay
Gone before I say
The words on my mind

Tick tock it's ticking down
Every second every sound
Live it now don't wait around
Time's a river we might drown

Sands in the glass
Flowing fast they pass
No shadow they cast
Future turns to past

Hold each moment tight
From morning into night
Seconds in the light
Fade without a fight

Tick tock feel the beat
Dancing in the street
Days like summer heat
Gone before they meet
