Tick Tock, Tick Tock
Tick tock, tick tock
That's the sound of your life's clock
Time is slipping with every moment
And every mistake, very potent
There's a strong effect with every action
Of time on earth, you hold but a fraction
Make it count the best you can
Do all you can to lend a hand
Show your love to all around
help a kid up off the ground
Live a life you won't regret
You are your only threat
Don't let anyone or anything stop you
And remember you can accomplish all you want to
This is your time, so live it well
Because eventually, you will hear that final bell
A call from God on judgement day
When asked how you live, what will you say
Are you ready for the stop of the clock
Tick tock, tick tock
