No more
A grain of sand
Slips through the hour glass
Standing alone
Watching time pass
Wondering
Lost
But never broken
Shamed
Never with out pride
A few last grains
And I’ll be free
What has time given to me
So much I don’t want to leave
Just a few more seconds now
Wait I say
I’m not done
I grab the hour glass
Throw it to the ground
My life is mine
You can’t take it
I control my dreams
I control my fate
No more
Will I watch the time
No more
Will I stand alone
No more
Will I be trapped
I just realized
That now I am free
My time is my time
No more
Will you take that from me
