Time

They always say time is the answer
they always say time is your friend
but I feel time is running out &
I'm right where I began.

You always have a dream growing up
the way your life is going to be,
but the hands on the clock move too fast
and so far reality differs from those dreams.

The older I get the more I see
time is not my friend, in fact, it's my enemy.
Sure, older & wiser outweighs young & naive
but I feel time has stripped away my purity.

My child-like view of the world is gone
the older I get the more aware I am of what really goes on.
Lord I pray with all of my heart
this world I live in will not jade my heart.
