Time’s Illusion
Time is but an illusion
Revolutions on a clock
It tells us when we’re done
Stop and punch the clock
Mans little ritual showing times in play
Clocks are merely a contrivance for the boss
While real time has nothing to do with a day
Or the weight and measure of a moment’s loss
Like the raging waters of a flood
The rampant river of time pushes on
What doesn’t move is buried in the mud
Look back and notice tomorrows gone
We don’t control time, we’re forced to comply
Simply passengers aboard a slip stream ride
Watching the scenes of life go flying bye
Exits are available but from them we hide
Our ability to alter time is our little white lie
But it’s ok, make of illusion what you will
Sing, dance, and enjoy the ride with a smile
Seek out the best of life and get your fill
Because we’ll be in this illusion only a little while
