Goes tick-tock, tick-tock
Am I going to fall
Down below on the rock
It's a slippery slope
Up ahead on this trail
But today is my hope
That somehow I'll prevail
Up ahead on this trail
But today is my hope
That somehow I'll prevail
Do I have it inside me
To conquer and win
Or is my fate to be
To be dormant within
To conquer and win
Or is my fate to be
To be dormant within
The clock on the wall
Goes tick-tock, tick tock
I need to stand tall
So I won't get stuck
It seemed I'm still young
But now I'm almost forty
A third of life gone
But where is my glory
What have I achieved
That's worthy of praise
The things I have grieved
The things yet to chase
Don't yet know my story
Don't yet know my ending
Don't want to be sorry
Don't want to be sorry
Or be left pretending
As if everything's fine
When in fact I am lost
On this journey of mine
With uncertainty's cost
Do I even belong here
And what is my worth
In this world so unclear
In my life on this earth
