it’s only here for a day or two
and the clock is ticking out
and there is so much left to do
a star shines down upon me
its waiting as I pray
for God to help to help me see
what must be done today
and there are just a few clocks
that really tick
exceot on 60 minutes
and recordings that are digitally correct
but it’s nice to have reminders
some innate pressure we commit
and once it was the sands of time
and the hourglass that would remind
on how much time we can fit
into what we experience with it
and the ship is in the harbor
only for a day or two
it doesn’t stay too long
and there’s so much left we need to do
so we take a lot of pictures
to make memories
we hope not to forget
for life slips quickly through our fingers
and we must make the most of it
so have some good times
and breathe in the sublime
share a little smile
and try to make your life worthwhile
