So much pressure

From the thoughts that swirl

Round and round inside my head.

The clock is ticking

Time is marching on

Things to do

Things to create

Things to clean

Things to organize

Things to remember

Dear God don't forget!

Things to prepare

Things to read

Things to write

Things to celebrate

The clock is ticking

Time is marching on

A big day is drawing near

So much pressure

From the thoughts that swirl

Round and round inside my head.

Dear God don't forget!

People to see

People to phone

People to love

People to tend

So much pressure

From the thoughts that swirl

Round and round inside my head.

The clock is ticking

Time is marching on

Places to be

Places to see

So much pressure

From the thoughts that swirl

Round and round inside my head.

The clock is ticking

Time is marching on

Seeking love

Seeking joy

Seeking peace

Seeking calm

Dear God don't forget!

Seeking Faith

Seeking perfection.

So much pressure

From the thoughts that swirl

Round and round inside my head.

The clock is ticking

Time is marching on

Life is moving forward

Whether I do this or do that

Will matter not

For time will keep marching.

Don't let life just pass you by

Ride the waves

Let them know you love them

Show them everyday.

Do they see it?

Is it enough?

Are they happy?

So much pressure

From the thoughts that swirl

Round and round inside my head.

The clock is ticking

Time is marching on

Life is moving forward.

What mark will I leave?

Oh yeah...and don't forget,

Just breathe!
