"Time" by Sian Lloyd


TIME

The world isn’t made of all things
That everyone likes,
Computer games and videos
Money, toys and bikes

No, the world is made of time
I’m sure you’ll all agree
Everyone relies on it
The stuff we can’t see

Yes, the world is made of time
But is wasted day by day
Time will soon run out you know
With all the things we say

Like "Hang on just a minute please!"
Or "just hang on a tick"
Time can’t hang on to ticks
They’re much too small and quick.

So time is very important
Every second of the clock
So wouldn’t it be awful
If time were just to

STOP!
