Time

Time, you moving fast
Thiefing all the sand from the hour glass
Time, you moving fast
Thiefing all the sand from the hourglass
There is no pretender, no contender for your crown
Into dust you grind them down
Against you who could last
When what is present is already past

Time you bad like a crab
You don't ask you reach out and grab
No manners at all
Always eating, belly never full
So why you can't just take a break
To digest what you already ate

Time, you moving fast
Thiefing all the sand from the hourglass
Against your hand there is no defense
And though we go to great expense
To hide your passing and its signs
We know you don't leave no one behind

Time you bad like a beast
You only give what you intend to thief
You pull the tree out from the seed
Then suck the green from out the leaf
You pelt the sun from east to west
Time, why you don't give yourself a rest

Time, why you moving so
Why you always in a rush to go
Everything made by our hand
Is just a castle built of sand
Waiting for that coming wave
That will wash it all away

Time, why you can't stick around
Why you always have to rush along?
There is no escaping you
You are the course we all run through
The clock is ticking in the square
To remind us all that you are there
