The Clock of Life

The clock of life, nobody knows when it starts,
or when it will stop. You should always be ready 
and be prepared, because you never know when the
clock will stop.

Don't hurt anybody and don't hurt yourself. Be very
careful in what you do and what you say, because
the clock is ticking - it's ticking away and nobody knows
when it's going to stop.

Each one of us has a clock, but we don't know when it 
will stop. It can be in the morning or mid afternoon. In
the middle of the day, or in the middle of the night.

But the hour will come and that's for sure, when the 
clock will stop and tick no more...
