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
