When change is imminent
How can anything stay the same?
The time on the clock
Will tick, tick, tick always creeping
away towards tomorrow.
The present will soon be yesterday.
If you look towards yesterday,
Life will speed ahead, forever imminent
When you chase yesterday to tomorrow,
two days are gone, tomorrow is the same.
Look ahead; for shadows come creeping,
Chasing you through the night. The clock
In your heart, the clock
that belongs to no one, belongs to yesterday,
Chimes onward, one day will come creeping.
Forever you shall bask in the imminent.
When life stays the same,
the stars of tonight will never signal tomorrow's
Sunrise, shining light on a tomorrow
Never seen. The hands on the clock
Endlessly, immortally, unchangingly the same.
Let the past be gone, let yesterday
Be a memory. See the imminent
See the flowers bloom, see them creep
Open. See the baby birds creep
To the edge of their nest, for tomorrow
Is all they see. The fall is imminent
but flight is the reward. See the clock,
See the hands, see yesterday
Pass. Let yourself never be the same.
So time will travel just the same,
On and on it creeps.
Look with faith at yesterday,
Look with joy to tomorrow.
Don't let time lead, let the clock
Be a friend. Make your joy forever imminent.
So yesterday will stay the same
and the imminent will creep
along, just as the clock signals tomorrow.
