Analysis of All we have is time
The pendulum swings
The hour glass trickles
The clocks ticks
All we have is time
The alarm rings
The bells toll
The sun comes up
All we have is time
The passengers wait
The train arrives at the station
The bus arrives at its stop
All we have is time
The day begins
The day continues
The day ends
All we have is time
The baby is born
The child, grows
The aged, die
All we have is time
