Time
Embracing Time's Weight: Reflections on Life's Pace
Lyrics
I can feel the teardrops waiting
I sense the anticipation of tears.
Heavy expectations coming down on me
Feeling overwhelmed by high expectations.
Again, afraid you'll waste my
Once again, fearing that time will be wasted.
Time and time goes by so easy
Time passes easily, but there's concern about wasting it.
"It won't get worse" she says
A reassurance that things won't deteriorate.
To please me once again
Someone is trying to please, perhaps to avoid worsening the situation.
But still you waste my
Despite reassurances, time is still being wasted.
Time goes by so slow and
Time seems to pass very slowly.
I don't feel like I've missed my
No feeling of missing out, despite the slow passage of time.
Life goes by so fast and I will wait for you
Life goes by quickly, but there's a commitment to wait for someone.
I can hear the fear drum beating
Perceiving the ominous beat of fear.
Feel the strings of courage come undone again
Feeling the loss of courage, facing a challenge.
But I can't turn my
Unable to turn away from a difficult situation.
Head away from my brother
Remaining attentive to a sibling or close person.
Pick him up if he should fall down again
Willing to support and uplift someone who falls.
On broken hands of time
Facing challenges represented by the broken hands of time.
Time goes by so slow and I
Time continues to pass slowly with no sense of missing life.
Don't feel like I've missed my life
The paradox of life passing fast while not feeling missed.
Goes by so fast and I will wait for you
Despite life's pace, there's a commitment to wait for someone.
