Time Is Passin

Do you hear how time is passin’
Can you see his frownin’ face
He ain’t here for jokes or laughter
He is here to state his case
He knows nothing lasts forever
He’s seen cities rise and fall
He won’t stop to bargain with you
Same lapse of time for us all

Throw away the stubborn outcries
Obstacles we do not need
It’s the true love life long friendship
That redeems us from cain’s seed
They’re the ones that will stand by you
Celebrating new years eve
All the good and bad achieved
Throw away the painful memories
They’re not worth the weight they bear
It’s about the joyous moments
And remember them with care
They’re the ones that keep us upright
They’re the ones that we pass on
Drop the sorrow sing a new song
In the times of joy and laughter
With a wild gleam in your eye
Always up for an adventure
We where never scared to fly
Bounding up the highest mountains
Soaring down the waterfall
In this ring of fire we stood tall

Have you heard of drowning cities?
Seen the tears and heard the cries
Our world is full of misery
Swamped with hate and filled with lies
But there’s sunlight near the shadow
Silver lining to the cloud
Floating midst the darkened heavens
Beckoning us to lift the shroud
Do you know how pain is mended?
Have you felt the magic flow?
It cannot be done with money
Only love will let you now
When you’re coming to the crossroad
And you see the gallows swing
Turn around and stop the skirmish
And then you’ll hear me sing
