Time seems to fly so fast and free
When life is all you hoped it'd be
Yet it drags cold and unkind
When joy is nowhere left to find
Time's the old man's bitter foe
But youth reaps all the seeds it sows
Yet somehow it picks and chooses who
Feels its weight or passes through
Oh Time why are you this way?
So fickle bending night and day
Transforming all you touch and see
Wherever you choose to be
I want to make my peace with Time
And live beyond the need to climb
I want life's weight to lift and flow
And Time to be a friend I know
I want to find a timeless grace
To live beyond this fleeting race
Or leave a mark for hearts to keep
A memory when I'm asleep
Time's a shadow soft and deep
It haunts our dreams disrupts our sleep
Yet in its arms we all are bound
Through lost and found round after round
It's ruthless in the way it takes
Yet gentle in each dawn it wakes
We dance along its endless tide
In borrowed hours we cannot hide
I want to make my peace with Time
And live beyond the need to climb
I want life's weight to lift and flow
And Time to be a friend I know
I want to find a timeless grace
To live beyond this fleeting race
Or leave a mark for hearts to keep
A memory when I'm asleep
Oh Time why are you this way?
So fickle bending night and day
Transforming all you touch and see
Wherever you choose to be
I want to make my peace with Time
And live beyond the need to climb
I want life's weight to lift and flow
And Time to be a friend I know
I want to find a timeless grace
To live beyond this fleeting race
Or leave a mark for hearts to keep
A memory when I'm asleep
So here I stand hands open wide
Embracing Time's relentless ride
May it remember me as kind
A trace of light it leaves behind
