I am time
oh, so precious
but I'm not on your side
i run far beyond you
and i leave you behind
i am time
I'm your enemy
but I can be your friend
when you've
fallen in love
and you're sure
there's no end
till that time
you will spend
when you're lonely again.
I am time
a great mystery
the creator of all history
in the hands of all men
through all my whims
they're condemned.
My hands only
chase circles
but what's passed
in-between
can bring increments of joy
peaceful moments serene.....
But they also bring pain
endless moments you'll scream
and your only escape
is in the hours you'll dream.
I am time.... don't abuse me
in your fourscore and ten
there are ways you can use me
stretch me out, make me bend.
But I am a wild stallion
I'm a beast you won't tame
on your deathbed you'll beg
more of me you can't claim.
But I'll be with you always
dogging you endlessly
far beyond death's
dark hallways
into eternity..........
I am time....
use me wisely
so that you'll always be
making timely decisions
stealing promise from me
finding ways to break free
of my grind....then you'll find
ways to rewind your time
into tranquility...................
