Tick Tock
Tick...
Tock...
Tick...
Tock...
Watch the sand
Pass through the hour glass
Grain by grain
You're watching it fade
Tick...!
Tock...!
Your time is up.
Sometimes it is too late
The fact is
The minutes do fade
There's never forever
Tomorrow might happen
Then again
We may never see the end of today
Time keeps running
With or without us
Hard as we try
But we cannot outrun it
There is no way
There always will be an end
We never can tell when it will be
But it will be
Time runs out
Without a doubt
There's always an end
Sooner than when...
When we like
When we're ready
When we want?
We never know
We never can tell
Time is tricky that way
It makes us feel like we have forever
Like forever can never end
Well guess what
You missed out
Because time ran out
With the last...
Tick.
Tock.
Now I hope you believe
As well as me
That now's the time
To make it count
To live your life
Without any doubt
Before your last...
Tick...
Tock.
