Echo In Time

Time starts ticking the day we're born Today is tomorrow's past Yesterday is just a memory That fades and never lasts Everyday when the sun sets low We're closer to the grave Death keeps calling every hour 'Til we become his slave While we're young we live forever Living life to the fullest, we're bold But one day soon time starts to fly Then the grave awaits, we're old Looking back we count our blessings And curse the things we've lost For time doesn't care who we are And we all must pay the cost Our life is only an echo in time Destined to disappear From birth to death then we're gone Like we were never here
