the clock keeps ticking
its never gonna stop
how you use that time
is whichever way gets you to the top

time is running out
your life isn't infinite
you have to do what you want
with the people you want in it

theres no point in giving up
until all your time is spent
cause in the end you'll look back
wondering where all your time went

theres too much to do
but theres never enough time
spend it how you want it
before that alarm clock chimes

tick tock tick tick
every day is a day you missed
you have to do what you couldn't yesterday
because you were too afraid

you have to take risks
stop being scared
cause the clock is ticking
our time is scarce

the minutes are going by
the hour glass is turned
the sand drips to the bottom
and the past is slowly burned

its time to face tomorrow
cause it may be the last day you get
time isn't guaranteed
so start placing your bets

its never too late
to change who you are
become someone you're proud of
before counting your last stars

spend the day how you want it
not by the way you're told
be with the ones you love
before you get too old

seconds go by
your minutes are running out
but the time is yours
stop spending it in doubt

knowing that theres 24 hours in a day
what would you say

knowing you have 1440 minutes
will you spend it feeling infinite

was 86400 seconds
worth every lesson?

look back on your life
is it something your proud of
make it how you want it
its never too late to rise above
