I Hope I Ain't Killing Time

When I was young it seemed the day would last forever, but now it goes so fast,

And I'm looking for the brake pedal to slow it down, so the good things will last,

Now I know that time is priceless, and of course it's free,

And I have used enough of it, but it does not belong to me,

As much as I would want to, time is something I can't keep,

I guess if I could save it in a bottle, then great rewards I would reap,

Oh yea and once I've lost it, I can never get it back,

If I try to hold it, it runs like water through a crack,

They say my time is the hyphen, so I hope at some time I've gone the extra mile,

And that maybe along the way I've helped someone, maybe made them smile,

But before my time runs out, and I walk on that Heavenly shore,

God there are parts of this human race I enjoy, let me run it a little more.
