SOMETIMES

THE HANDS OF TIME

As the hands of time tick through my life

I wonder if, I wonder why

What would happen if time could be erased

Can the clock be turned back one more time?

Would I change the things I have done

Or will I continue on the way I've come?

Can life be measured by the minutes in an hour

Or will each second the world turns around

Be counted as a life that's lost forever?

Will the world's revolution round the sun

Continue on long after time has gone?

Will life as we know it cease to exist?

Can the hands of time be measured

By a heart that lies shattered

Or by a child's lost and lonely tears?

Even the birds that fly free

Are prey to a time when they fall,

So too the tiniest of creatures

Are caught in a web of time.

So, who am I to want to turn back time

Of life that's past no longer mine.

As through the portal of endless hours

I travel through immortal time.

Mistakes I make along the way

And though our lives must end someday

Time unforgiving still marches on.
