The Speed of Life

In the childhood home her mother spins her child Round and round we go happiness seems to overflow And the childhood goes by; faster, faster A growing child with so much energy running and having fun Careless and free he runs across the yard He is growing up; faster, faster Only in middle school and already a rebel Sticking up for a friend and getting in a fight He has courage but still he runs; faster, faster High school has come at last The odd man out he cries for attention Into depression he spirals; faster, faster At the high school prom he meets a girl The hearts beet together and the music beats in their ears They are falling madly in love; faster, faster Barely a year and a kid on the way To work and back the same routine, every hour, every day A wedding is coming closer; faster, faster So far a happy life, and a good career They buy a home and outside he spins his child Another childhood is going by; faster, faster His life was long another one has started from it But now the ambulance move; faster, faster And his heartbeat fails; slower, slower
