Just A Second

There's that sound again
And I think it is a crime
It reminds me of our life span
Just ticking all the time

We also have minutes and hours
but they don't make a sound
Passing along through day and night
just looking to be found

And what about weeks and months
that adds up to the years
When I think of all of this
It brings me down to tears

A second a minute, an hour a day
A week a month a year
It all begins with a second
That ticking sound we hear

Our lives stop at a certain time
No matter how we've reckoned
And the ticking sound will stop for us
When we don't have another second
