THE CLOCK

Tinkling, Tinkling, Tinkling

Every passing moment,

My thoughts compass me,

My heart controls who I am,

My actions well thought,

Imperfection lies above,

In defiance of time,

 

Tinkling, Tinkling, Tinkling,

Seconds runs into months,

My times spent conquering,

All my paths runs in time,

I live by my actions,

The times I thought,

Perfection was before me,

The little I knew,

Blown in imperfection.

 

Tinkling, Tinkling, Tinkling,

Space and time,

Moving parallel to each other,

No one understands,

The point at which,

My periods runs out,

But my fuel keeps me on,

Looking for understanding,

Praying for Unity,

Everyone rejects me,

I speak a language,

No one wants to listen

 

Tinkling, Tinkling, Tinkling,

The painful times,

When I have to fight,

Oh my colleague,

Whom I needed,

Just one and for all,

None else I find,

My smiles, my cry,

The resultants,

History can tell.

 

Tinkling, Tinkling, Tinkling,

Now I know where I belong,

The times when I could think,

I thought too slow,

If you could listen to me,

Thou art been too fast,

360 degrees running always,

How I wish I could stop thee,

The painful way, I spent my times,

If I were opportune,

I would reverse the hands of the clock.
