There is a clock on the wall

Going tic, tock

When nobody's round it stops and looks around

Waiting to be the host of its entertainers

Built with no mind of its own,

And runs on threads

Time does not run on clocks however

It runs when our hearts bring to mind

Memories of times by

And ignite it as it start beating fast

Then you realize what time it is

Is it time to make peace or just a peaceful time?

Make amends or forgive our brothers and sisters?

Tell me, what hours does your clock bring?

Or would you fancy it lifeless?

Such is, a heartless life

Timeless and meaningless

With no tick or tock

Water is not thick nor blood

Not knowing what time is going to be

Can't tell from love to joy

What hate is all about even out

I am watching my clock going tic tock

For it reminds me of a time full of life
