Standing still
in a city street
while everyone
is still asleep
as you watch
you will see
the day come to a wake
as you watch the sunrise
you stand in the same spot for minutes
and sometimes
it feels like your the only one in it
you watch as
some cars go by
along with a plane in the sky
and you know
looking back
is a mysterious eye
that does not belong to you or i
standing on the road
were it bends
soon feels like life
never ends
then you realize
time is everything
to me and to you
without it
you and i would be screwed
not knowing were to go
or when to be
time is very important
to you and me
as you stand you think
you think of what life would be like
if you everyone would just
stop and take a minute to see
how slow and more relaxed
life can be
as the day comes to end
you look up high
and look at the stars glow
while you do this you feel
the cold night wind blow
you stood in the same spot
for a whole day
wishing it did not go away
because you have just learned
that life goes by
with or without
you and i
