Time

tick, tick, tick goes the clock of life
like a bomb about to go off
keeping it going
trying to blow it apart
uncertain of the outcome
while protecting your heart
tick, tick, tick
the sun is the clock
and the earth the bed
moon's our angel way ahead
the stars are our night light
impossible to turn off
because of it's beauty
tick, tick, tick
the time draws nearer
and pressure deepens
how long can one small world last
when time is moving oh so fast
