As the Clock Ticks Away

This is a poem I wrote in 1991-1992, and it's from the point of view of a speaker who is trying to live life to the fullest before their time runs out.


It seems I'm running the race of life
Trying to beat the clock
Gotta make it across the finish line
Before my time runs out


I've gotta finish first in the race
Beat the competition
And there's no way I can finish last
No way I can be beat


I'm having to live life day by day
As the clock ticks away
Get out of this town as the time winds down
As the clock ticks away
