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
