Tickity Tock

Lived life so hard So many places I have been barred Coming alive at dust Doing only what I must Keeping myself going Flowing Like a river going strong Many choices I knew were wrong The path long Standing in the cold rain I felt all of lifes pain Walk on I must Whom do I trust As I turn to dust Tears start to fall I hear his call As deaths whispers in my ear Not realizing he stood so near I'm coming for you What was I to do Felt the fear About then I started holding life dear New things I wanted to try Had yet to really fly So I eached for the sky Set myself free From all that I see Freed from yesterday pain The stain Cleared my brain Released the hate Was I to late To free myself from my own fate Slow down Do away with my frown In life you can drown Tickity tock Hands moving around the clock Lost in the sound Of my soul being found Who am I Watch me fly Across the sky Wings carry me Lost is what I used to be My soul is now free Across the sky Never again be afraid to die A pure heart will one day fly
