Time moves forward without delay.

He stays with pace, it’s up to us to use it wisely or to waste.

Embrace his hands, staying with him today.

**

He moves his hands regardless of our bad day.

Ticking along even if we stand in place.

Time moves forward without delay.

**

Echo’s of his sounds, beats in our heads, even with digital display.

Yet, we feel that time has run out in haste.

Embrace his hands, staying with him today.

**

He knows you think him slow, it’s a game he plays.

You better not delay, enjoy your life, before it’s erased.

Time moves forward without delay.

**

There is no question, who to obey.

He is always the winner, don’t rush your life for it to be debased.

Embrace his hands, staying with him today.

**

He will be marching along well past into your decay.

Seize this moment that you are faced.

Time moves forward without delay.

Embrace his hands, staying with him today.
