Time

The sand flows down the hourglass This life was never built to last I don’t think we will ever fathom How short of time in life we truly have We are all at the mercy of time How long do we live before we die Hours of the night can fade into forever Years can fly by, losing sight of our heart’s treasure Our minds get encaged by the darkest moments And in our laboring, precious moments are stolen So many words of love have been left unsaid Until we reach our deathbed We are all at the mercy of time How long do we live before we die Hours of the night can fade into forever Years can fly by, losing sight of our heart’s treasure Oh what a selfish way to spend your life Always focused on the pain inside In these numbered days that I’m alive In love I will abide With this time I am given I will be more than just be breathing I need new meaning God please save me We are all at the mercy of time How long do we live before we die Hours of the night can fade into forever Years can fly by, losing sight of our heart’s treasure How ignorant to think the hourglass Will never run out on me If only our generation could see Oh what a waste to live your life for yourself Do you even she a thought on how others have felt I want to be a light for the world On my tombstone show that God is on my throne
