lyrics

I’m just Thankful for another day cuz it didn’t have to go that way when hands on a clock move like lawn mower blades. Gaining off the growing pains. Fast or at slower pace. Every seconds golden when no moments left a throw away…

Hop scotching through a mine field. Time feel different once you learn to let the mind heal. Ideal in vision but how many seconds time steal of the memories just glimmering on the outer edges defining real? Guess it’s what we make it. So time is what I’m taking. Earth make 1 rotation and inside the same equation we awaken and we shaping our surroundings til the day end. Day out. Day in. Praying we can beat the clock, but times just an illusion. Swear it’s real with how it feel with how we have to use it. Counting down the seconds, but I heard time never be losing. How would you spend your time if you had the chance to choose it? Let’s go cruising 1 lap around sun and see. Abundance needs attention just to sprout the growth wanna seed. 359 then you add that 1 degree. 365 chances dancing with our wants and needs…

I’m just Thankful for another day cuz it didn’t have to go that way when hands on a clock move like lawn mower blades. Gaining off the growing pains. Fast or at slower pace. Every seconds golden when no moments left a throw away…

The time is now if change is what we seek. Got it out the mud now we aiming at the peak. So my aiming when I speak keep my statements with the beat. Keeping the time speaking in common terms let’s say this time a week. 7 sun sets. Maybe half of the paycheck. About 4 to a month and the days ain’t slowing the pace yet. Working for the end of it while begging for some benefits or relief from other the 5 testing the mental discipline. Happens 52 times in a year. 52 times where a few climbs looking too high to clear. Hide in fear, but time stay ticking. Racing the clock but who play chicken like time is coming head on destiny filling your vision. Stop and listen existence move in a rhythm. Tempo shifts and time changes droop from where they’re hidden. If your younger self looked to you with hopeful eyes saying advise me, would you tell them time is precious spend it wisely?

I’m just Thankful for another day cuz it didn’t have to go that way when hands on a clock move like lawn mower blades. Gaining off the growing pains. Fast or at slower pace. Every seconds golden when no moments left a throw away…
