Times Magic
If time were a piece of magic
I’d weave me a miracle
for time has stolen my hearts desires,
my dreams left to crumble.
I’ve looked back to the yesteryears
to who I’ve been and was,
searching in the mirror for
the me who’d been lost.
For time has slipped past so swiftly
I can’t remember how,
but I lost my way so often -
how’d I get to now?
Opportunities came and went
I could have had it all
if only I’d believed enough,
if only I’d stood tall.
Now time has caught up with me
I feel I’ve lost the race,
the beat of my heart stutters,
it struggles to keep pace.
I look long into the mirror
to catch those yesteryears
I need to weave a miracle,
I have to assuage my fears.
I search the pain in my eyes
and see the magic there
reflecting beauty back to me,
for time has come to care.
I’ve found my threads of magic
to weave my miracle
time brought it back to me
and made it reachable.
