Verse 1
Morning breaks just like it did before
Soft light slipping through the door
Coffee cooling, the world wakes slow
Familiar rhythms I already know
There’s a clock humming in the background
Not shouting, not trying to run me down
Just steady, faithful, doing its part
Keeping time with a beating heart
Pre-Chorus
Seconds loosen into minutes
Hours fade before we’re in it
Another day slips out of sight
And joins the story of our life
Chorus
Time’s a river, it don’t wait
Carrying us forward—love or weight
This moment now won’t always stay
It’ll be a memory on its way
So I choose purpose over passing through
I won’t let this life drift by untrue
Verse 2
We’ve been given more than space to breathe
We’ve been handed choice and belief
Every day’s a blank page wide
To live it full—or let it slide
But there’s a line we don’t control
An ending written for every soul
So if there’s a dream knocking at your door
Don’t tell it “someday”—not anymore
Pre-Chorus
If there’s a hand you need to hold
Words of love you’ve never told
Don’t wait for perfect, don’t delay
The best moments are now—not “one day”
Chorus
Time’s not endless, it’s a flame
Burns bright, then calls our name
It’s not measured by what we make
But the risks we take, the love we gave
Every laugh, every scar we claim
Is proof we showed up in the frame
Bridge (Spoken / Half-Time)
Time’s not money
It can’t be saved
It can’t be earned back
Once it’s spent
What we carry forward
Ain’t the numbers
It’s the people
It’s the moments
It’s the love we meant
Final Chorus
Time’s a gift, not meant to waste
It leaves its mark in every face
The memories made, the ground we stood
The times we chose the hard for good
These moments—every laugh, every tear—
They’re the receipts that say
We were here
Outro
When the clock finally goes quiet
And the rush gives way to grace
May the record show a life well spent
Paid in love
And time embraced
