lyrics

Twenty four hours in the day,
A year’s worth of mistakes made
In the thirty one days this month.
Time always knows how you are doing.

December turns and another
Year is shed from the hour glass.
There are no pauses,
Even if we cannot keep
Our promises to Time it will not
Flee from our side. It remains with us, always.

Time presses on
Metronomically consistent as our
Guide – as a maestro pushes his
Symphony forward in concert; reviews
Never being subject to do over, too
We live in time of no rewind

We're all children of time.

You didn't love her. You loved the idea.
The world isn't over 'cause blood has been spilled.

The value of all time frame’s
Dependent on the beauty of our
Portrait within; only reaching
Completion when Time
Has left us for the first time;
For the last time

We're all children of time.

You didn't love him. You loved the idea.
The world isn't over 'cause blood has been spilled.
Life forces you to grow up too fast.
Love has no deadlines amidst the hour glass.

All these questions, they've no answers: the transitional
If things don't circle round, I hope things get better.
We make sacrifices for ourselves.
