• what we want to change
    we never can
    the sands of time
    wait for no man
    as we try to grab
    and hold on
    it just keeps slipping
    through our fingers

    in an endless ring
    goes round and round
    the carousel of crowns
    never stops to let someone off
    or another to be let on

    as we grow old
    our story's told
    by father time himself
    he has had
    what we call years
    to ponder this to himself

    "what is our purpose
    why are we here
    when has time begun
    when will time end"
    the answers
    to these questions
    are far and distant past

    as we continue on our journey
    through matter and space
    time will never hesitate
    to look upon us
    reach into our hearts
    and make sure that we
    know where to start
