Time

The second hand moves
In rhythmic form
Tick tock tick

Time moves on
Lives are shorn
Tick tock tick

We go through the moves
Living our lives
Tick tock tick

From evening till dawn
In our bee hives
Tick tock tick

What are we doing
And why do we care
We live our lives
Like there’s nothing out there
But what of the burdens
That other’s can’t bear
Tell me the reason why

Give me a reason
Give me a cause
Tick tock tick

Give me some meaning
From life’s lonely jaws
Tick tock tick

In God’s own season
I turn to the cross
Tick tock tick

I find what I’m seeking
And not all is loss
Tick tock tick
