‘Tis a journey called life
A race against the ever ticking time
But the race ain’t for the swiftest
It ain’t for the valiant or bravest
Only the wise may scale thru if they realize
That the only way to win is to surrender
To one who can carry you all the way

If you could pause for a moment and think
If you would look above the obvious
If you could seek wisdoms trail
Facts that disturb the mind evolve
Truths hidden and neglected lay revealed
And only then do we realize
Tick-tock time fades away
Yet many lose their way

Alas surrendering ain’t so easy
In this scientific age,
Faith is not the most familiar word
But the best way never speaks ease and rest
Gold only shines after its fire experience
To reach an end you might have to bend
Cos time ain’t gonna wait and stare

You see although time never waits
Eternity waits
But the quality of time spent
Tells the destination of eternal life
For joy like a river awaits
Those who surrender in faith
And rest we would find beyond those gates
Far away from all crime
At the very end of time
