The Clock
It's ticking.
The moment you're born,
The Clock begins to tick.
You have a set time.
When you live.
When you die.
The Clock is ticking.
You have this life,
you have these choices,
you have these opportunities.
You have this time,
you can do good,
you can do bad.
The Clock is ticking.
You can go out and chase your dreams,
or let them die in your mind.
The Clock is ticking.
You have no idea when it'll stop.
It may stop tomorrow,
it may stop in two weeks,
it may stop in two years,
it may stop in two decades.
All you know is
The Clock is ticking.
This clock you didn't turn on,
because it was turned on for you,
is giving you time.
It's giving you the most precious gift,
more valuable than any stack of cash,
or any rare stone.
The Clock is ticking.
Don't stop dreaming.
Don't stop chasing.
Don't stop trying.
Don't stop dragging your dreams by the foot into reality,
because before you know it...
The alarm will sound.
Time's up.
