Seconds

 

Another second ticks by,

Another person dies,

Another person lies,

Another person cries

 

I watch another minute pass

And as people lose their class

While others fight for the price of gas

And another man destroys the mind

Of another young lass

 

An hour flies away,

Another teen runs astray

Another homeless soul finds no where to stay

 

Why can’t we figure out,

That time is the most important thing,

Not money,

Not power,

Time.

 

Only then will we be truly free,

And will we know true happiness

As each second ticks on…

 

Another second ticks by,

Another person dies,

Another person lies,

Another person cries

 

I watch another minute pass

And as people lose their class

While others fight for the price of gas

And another man destroys the mind

Of another young lass

 

An hour flies away,

Another teen runs astray

Another homeless soul finds no where to stay

 

Why can’t we figure out,

That time is the most important thing,

Not money,

Not power,

Time.

 

Only then will we be truly free,

And will we know true happiness

As each second ticks on…
