Tick, tick, tick, sounds off another three,
Tick, tick, tick, time is quickly passing by me,
Tick, tick, tick, life quietly continues to knock,
Tick, tick, tick, just can't stop a ticking clock,
What I would give to slow the hands of time,
Change the tick to a sweet, pleasant chime,
Worry not so much about the passing days,
All those wrinkles and mounting grays,
In hindsight undo my many wrongs to rights,
Change from a divider to one, who unites,
Tick, tick, tick, there it goes another three,
The tick of time, steady as a buzzing bee,
The key for the heart is the gentle tick tock,
An endless motion of the biological clock,
Tick, tick, tick, just a quiet reminder for me,
The tick of time soon will set me free.
