Tick

Do you pray to God Only when in need Promising a change If he will only heed Do you see your soul In the mirror when you look What does it reveal Anything you’ve overlooked? Do you see the clock As it ticks your time away Seconds, minutes, hours How heavy does it weigh? Do you see the years Like a brushfire that has burned Laying in smoke and ash From a heart that doesn’t yearn Do you see your life As it passes before your eyes Speeding quickly forward Where the consequences lie
