Hourglass

Time keeps moving on
So I guess I'll go along
But what else could I do
Before my time is through

When I was younger I didn't understand
That time is very precious and you can hold it in the palm of your hand
Just go to school and you'll be fine
You don't need to worry about this thing called time

And year after year they all disappear
They turn into sand filling up this glass
And it won't be long before it's all gone
And I'll be forever trapped in here

I'm stuck in an hourglass
And time moves oh so fast
One minute you're here the next you're gone
And then you're near but not for long
'Cause time keeps moving on

Nowadays I've learned to understand
Don't take anything for granted 'Cause it's all hanging by a strand
Just live your life and you'll be fine
Don't think about this crazy thing called time

And year after year they all disappear
And turn into sand filling up this glass
And it won't be long before it's all gone
And I'll be forever trapped in here

I'm stuck in an hourglass
And time moves oh so fast
One minute you're here the next you're gone
And now you're near but not for long
'Cause time keeps moving on

When I am older I'll finally understand
That sand is falling fast and soon it'll reach its end
But it's ok 'Cause I'll be fine
I don't need to worry about this fading time

And year after year they're all still here
These grains of sand
Filling up my hands
And I'll be alright 'Cause I'll see that light
And I'll never be trapped in here

I'm free from this hourglass
No longer engulfed in sand
One minute I'm here the next I'm gone
And now you're near it's been so long
'Cause time keeps moving on
Time keeps moving on
'Cause time keeps moving on

And all this sand
That's in my hands
It's time to let it go
