Wake up to the sound of the morning light Another cup of coffee, it's time to fight Grab my keys, rush out the door Running late, but I've done this before Emails, meetings, and the phone rings loud In a sea of faces, I’m lost in the crowd Pick up the kids, a quick stop at the store Another list, another chore But it’s all just ticking, ticking away Another hour, another day We’re moving fast but standing still Chasing time, against our will It's life in motion, never on pause But where it’s going, who knows the cause? The days just slip and drift on by We’re here but can’t catch the time Birthday candles, laughter in the air A little party, but I’m still not there School runs, soccer games in the rain Trying to keep up, but it's all the same Holidays come, holidays go Another year’s gone before I know Routines so familiar, like a movie scene I’m in the frame, but don’t know what it means But it’s all just ticking, ticking away Another hour, another day We’re moving fast but standing still Chasing time, against our will It's life in motion, never on pause But where it’s going, who knows the cause? The days just slip and drift on by We’re here but can’t catch the time But it’s all just ticking, ticking away Another hour, another day We’re moving fast but standing still Chasing time, against our will It's life in motion, never on pause But where it’s going, who knows the cause? The days just slip and drift on by We’re here but can’t catch the time But it’s all just ticking, ticking away Another hour, another day We’re moving fast but standing still Chasing time, against our will It's life in motion, never on pause But where it’s going, who knows the cause? The days just slip and drift on by We’re here but can’t catch the time
