Time is Beyond Our Control
Time Makes Fools of Us All
Time makes fools of us all
Our skin sags and wrinkles
Gray hairs creep out by the roots
Weight loss, weight gain—
All beyond our control
Time makes fools of us all
As our minds slowly slip away
One day, it’s our keys gone missing
The next day, we can’t find our way home—
Everything beyond our control
Time makes fools of us all
As it steals our friends and family
One by one, they leave our side
Here one day, gone the next
Their exit beyond our control
Time makes fools of us all
Our identities gone in a flash
Who are we now? Who were we then?
Why can’t we be who we once remembered?
Time is beyond our control
