• I’m Turning back the time clock
    Sending my life into aftershock
    I don’t know if this will really show
    Any results that I’d want to know

    I’m pulling back the hour hand
    Sending my life into a mysterious land
    Where nothing’s new but nothing’s same,
    Nothing old and nothing lame

    Now my life has been reset
    So my sorrows I can forget
    But all the same I think I’ll miss
    The life I had before all this

    There was good sprinkled about
    Significant good, day in and day out
    Brought by friends as few as they were
    Be they human, feathered or covered with fur

    My mind now wonders if they will be fine
    If our lives hadn’t become entwined
    Will their lives be as they are?
    Or without me will they not make it far?

    This worry pricks me like a thorn
    Maybe it was because I was born
    That joy was brought to others lives
    and is why their happiness does thrive?

    Does my life really matter that much?
    Or was I right believing that such
    As insignificant a person as I
    Should be obligated to simply die?

    What would happen to my family and friends?
    Or even beyond them, I have a life to spend!
    A life given to me to use and to cherish!
    I should not waste it by allowing myself to perish!

    I’m going to get back out there and live it for all it’s worth!
    Focusing not on it’s sorrows but on it’s mirth!
    I’m going to grab life and live every minute
    Doing anything and everything I’ve wanted to do in it!

    Watch me, I’ll find my happiness here
    By keeping my clock in forward gear.
