Time marches on
Those used to be’s are flying again, mentions of how it was
better way back when
Unlocked doors without any fear, waving to strangers just to
spread some cheer
Bolt those doors, keep your gaze fixed ahead catch no eyes, wonder
why you ain’t got a friend
Governments and department stores, got more to hide behind
smiles and shiny floors
Come and go, with the tide of fashion, what matters most you
hide inside, your true passion
Ease and relaxation unlocks the desires, the key to open
your mind and unlock the doors
Time marches on and history always looks, peanut farmer,
business man, it sorts out the crooks
Posturing does you no good from the grave, not about how
much you had, rather what you gave
Making humanity habitable, dodging your flaws with lawyers,
you write your own books
Used to be a time… oh I am certain there was, but tomorrow
is the time creating all the buzz
Smiling at those memories, taking the facts; merged with
what’s there now to fill in the cracks
Some of this is okay, but you’ve just got to try some of
this, blending together like it does
Time marches on and we make ours, play outside when it’s
sunny, come inside if it showers
How we play changes but our friends should remain, ransoming
love over politics should refrain
Leave Caesar to have what’s his, he can fear the ides of
March counting money up in his towers
I’m going to live life with family and friends, do my best
to stay on the road and mind the bends`
The shit storms I encounter I’ll plow through, cause
stopping in the middle of one will never do
Time marches on, and the pace picks up, I just want to enjoy the rest of mine before
it ends
I’m not chasing used to be’s, rather making new, trying to
create more time to spend with you
Championing integrity, sharing time; help a friend find a
laugh, compassion doesn’t cost a dime
Time marches on, administrations and policies come and go, and
one day yours is through
So make the best of it
