Chasing Time

Time keeps on slipping

As the sun begins to rise,

Chasing shadows, chasing dreams,

Underneath these endless skies.

Another dawn, another chance,

To dance with life, to take a stance,

Cities calling, oceans wide,

Adventure waits on the rising tide.

Every heartbeat racing fast,

Moments fading, never last,

I’ll embrace the light that beams,

Why would I sleep when I can chase my dreams?

Why would I sleep, when I only have 24 hours?

The world is vast, it's my heart’s desire,

Every day feels like a fleeting hour,

I’m alive and burning like a fire.

Footprints on the sands of time,

Mapping life in a rhythm and rhyme,

Every glance, every sound,

Stories waiting, lost and found.

Whispers in the quiet night,

Calling me with pure delight,

Tomorrow’s promise gleams and gleams,

Why would I sleep when I can chase my dreams?

Why would I sleep, when I only have 24 hours?

The world is vast, it's my heart’s desire,

Every day feels like a fleeting hour,

I’m alive and burning like a fire.

Run through valleys, climb the peaks,

Every heartbeat, the thrill it seeks,

Counting stars and wishing wide,

With every moment, feel alive inside.

Why would I sleep, when I only have 24 hours?

The world is vast, it's my heart’s desire,

Every day feels like a fleeting hour,

I’m alive and burning like a fire.

Time keeps on slipping,

But I’ll embrace each open door,

With every second that’s a gift,

I’ll live a life worth rushing for.
