There's Less Than Two Hours

There's less than two hours
to walk in the sand.
To sail the wide oceans
and see foreign lands.

There's less than two hours 
to swing from the stars.
To climb to the top
and look down from afar.

There's so little of time 
yet so damn much to see,
and so many things 
that I still need to be.

But there's less than two hours,
the clock’s running still.
And there’s still a dream
that I have to fulfill.

So, let all fade away
til another time when
the two hours are past…
and the dream has been dreamt.
