Tickity Tock
Lived life so hard
So many places I have been barred
Coming alive at dust
Doing only what I must
Keeping myself going
Flowing
Like a river going strong
Many choices I knew were wrong
The path long
Standing in the cold rain
I felt all of lifes pain
Walk on I must
Whom do I trust
As I turn to dust
Tears start to fall
I hear his call
As deaths whispers in my ear
Not realizing he stood so near
I'm coming for you
What was I to do
Felt the fear
About then I started holding life dear
New things I wanted to try
Had yet to really fly
So I eached for the sky
Set myself free
From all that I see
Freed from yesterday pain
The stain
Cleared my brain
Released the hate
Was I to late
To free myself from my own fate
Slow down
Do away with my frown
In life you can drown
Tickity tock
Hands moving around the clock
Lost in the sound
Of my soul being found
Who am I
Watch me fly
Across the sky
Wings carry me
Lost is what I used to be
My soul is now free
Across the sky
Never again be afraid to die
A pure heart will one day fly
