Time to move on
Michael Melton 1999 (NC)
I tried to catch the winds of Time,
I tried to turn it back on my side.
I even put a sail in the air;
To turn it around, but Time didn't care.
I climbed a mountain, to catch the breeze.
Then Time stood still, watching as it teased.
I tried to trick Time, and went to sleep.
I wanted to remember, but Time trick me .
I just wanted to go back, go back I said,
Time, looked at me and shook its head.
I even tried to reason with Time.
But Time said move on, better days ahead.
One last chance, I knew what to do !!!
Time laughed at me. He knew that too !
I finally gave up, I finally gave in.
I'll just move on , as Time has said.
