sands of time

i stand by the river

as the tide makes me wait

i want to cross over

before it’s too late;

i see you my soulmate

it seems i’ll never reach

time’s really with the tide

and that i can never breach;

sands of time are ever so rough

there’s no let up for love or pain

searing winds make it really tough

for me to cross and see you again;

i stand by the river

knowing that i just can’t turn the tide

and i pray to the Giver

to always be on your side;

even if i‘m not with you

there’s no reason for you to frown

now that you’re getting your due

just go ahead and seek your crown;

watching you my soulmate

am just happy to see your flight

for sands of time have got me late

to reach you, yearn as i might.
