Ordinary Days

In a minute I was spinning, beginning to see
How the clock kept ticking, picking parts of me
Thirty seconds frozen, chosen by the fates
While my heart was racing, pacing, learning how to wait

Time keeps rolling on

Time moves like water
Through these ordinary days
Fast in all the bright lights
Slow in darker ways
But I wouldn't trade a moment
Of this life I've known

Hours keep flowing, showing what we gain
Years keep drifting, sifting through the pain
Ten long minutes breaking, aching in the night
Five sweet seconds waking, taking in the light

Time keeps rolling on

(Chorus)

Hours keep flowing, showing what we gain
Years keep drifting, sifting through the pain
Ten long minutes breaking, aching in the night
Five sweet seconds waking, taking in the light

The moments that we treasure
Pass quicker than the rest
While the times that test our measure
Feel like they never end
But every tick and every tock
Brought me where I'm meant to be

Fifty years of learning, burning through the haze
Watching sunsets turning, yearning for more days
Every second matters, scatters like the stars
While my heart grows fonder, wander near or far

Time keeps rolling on

Time moves like water
Through these ordinary days
Fast in all the bright lights
Slow in darker ways
But I've loved every moment
Of this life I've known

Every passing second
Made this heart my home
