Day After Day

day after day after day after day
hour after hour after hour
minutes keep taking the seconds away -
time has a fleeting power

invisible fingers hold us in place
making us all believe
that we must stay in time's embrace
at least until we leave

certainty tells us we're not here for long
falling asleep each night
remembering always that we all belong,
basking in heavenly light

day after day after day after day
from time with its fleeting power
there's always a chance to get away
every minute of every hour

as minutes keep taking the seconds away
time has a fleeting power
within the spaces between where we play
in moments in any hour
