Clock Keeps Ticking

Clock keeps ticking

It's the clock 
The one that won't stop
The one that keep going 
Counter clock wise
It tells you the time 
The time you got left 
To get things done
It can be a quarter to one 
Or a quarter to four 
What happens when an opportunity
Knocks at the door
You only have so much time to respond
And after you respond you're done 

Clock keeps ticking 
Clock keeps moving 
There is limited time 
To keep doing (repeat 1x)

Some people wait 
Until it's to late 
Then they have 
So much at stake 
Thought they had time 
To get things right 
Then boom ?? here comes life 
Life is short 
Life is precious
Life progresses 
You only have a period of time 
To not be left behind 
What are you achieving
What are you leaving 
Only time will tell
Wish we had known you well
Don't be in shock 
When the clock stops

Clock keeps ticking 
Clock keeps moving 
There is limited time 
To keep doing (repeat 1x)

Time keeps ticking
Time keep tocking
Keep the faith 
With you there's no stopping
(Repeat 1x)

Clock keeps ticking 
Clock keeps moving 
There is limited time 
To keep doing (repeat 1x)
