Charlie's Song

I find it funny how things ain't always what they seem
Time changes everything
It never slows and it never backs down
Like a freight train rolling town to town
It sure makes a lonesome sound

Every time that the sun comes up it goes back down
The world keeps spinning round and round
The clock ticks and the hands move fast
Days and weeks months and years they pass
Grains of sand through the hourglass

People come and people go
Round and round where we stop nobody knows
We do the best with the dice we roll
Live our lives give our hearts and souls
But nobody knows when our bell will toll

I often wonder what my future holds when my days are done
My race is finally run
I pray for paradise and pearly gates
Where mom and dad
And all my loved ones wait
Wrapped in amazing grace

Well people come and people go
Round and round where we stop nobody knows
We do the best with the dice we roll
Live our lives give our hearts and souls
But nobody knows when our bell will toll
We do the best with the dice we roll
Live our lives give our hearts and souls
But only God knows when our bell will toll
