The Journey

Time starts ticking the day we're born

Today becomes tomorrow's past

Yesterday is just a forgotten memory

That's fading away too fast

Everyday when the sun starts to set 

We draw closer to the grave

Death keeps calling us every hour

'Til we become his slave

When we are young, we live forever

Living life to the fullest, we're bold

But one day soon, time comes to collect

Then the grave awaits, we're old

Looking back and counting our blessings

We curse the things that we've lost

For time doesn't care who we were

And all must pay the cost

Our life is only an echo in time

Destined to disappear

From birth to the grave, then we're gone

Like we were never here

For everyone has a beginning

And soon we all have an end

The beginning and end barely matter

It's the journey we have to defend
