Every Second’s Tick
5.25.2021
Every second’s tick
A second’s time in life
A second’s time to death
You can count on every second
Every second’s gonna tick
Every second’s gonna count
So make every second count
Before you give the can a kick
Step
Don’t step
Do
Don’t do
I’ll be me
You do you
A choice to make
A choice for you
But not for time
While you can start
In the nick of time
And you can stop
Turn on a dime
But nothing stops
The tick of time
No starts
No stops
The tick of time
Step
Don’t step
Do
Don’t do
I’ll be me
You do you
But know for certain
What time will do
Time will not rest
Before you do
Time marches on
It’ll march past you
Every second’s tick
On a second-hand clock
Marks a second’s time
In life you’ve got
Marks a second’s time
Towards death, your lot
So go and live
Go mark your spot
So go and live
Go fill your slot
Don’t be the life
That time forgot
Step
Don’t step
Do
Don’t do
I’ll be me
You do you
But know for certain
What time will do
Time will not rest
Before you do
Time marches on
It’ll march past you
