The Clock On Our Lives It Keeps Ticking Away

The clock on our lives it keeps ticking away And for many today it will be their last day Time for anyone of us does not seem to wait And on each one of us there is a use by date The longer we live the sooner we will die A wise one said that one far wiser than I And though the longest human life in time is not a very long span Most do want to live for as long as they can Yet some who are torn by great inner strife Come to the decision to take their own life But the majority value life as a great thing And to the greatest of all gifts to the end they do cling For many today it will be their last day We must die for others we have to make way.
