A Blink of An Eye

Time passes by in the blink of an eye

People gather round discussing why

Pretending as if they don't know

Time passes by so that they can grow

What about life would they have to say

If life just stood still day after day

Mem'ries made with joys and pains

Years of life with losses and gains

Life alone can give or take

Causing many a heart to break

Time passes by and they grow wise

Living and creating emotional ties

Most of the time they don't know why

Understanding comes before they die

Time passes by in the blink of an eye

And just like them I pretend I don't know why
