In the essence of time,
You and I watch people and things and ways go by,
Faster than the blink of the human eye,
We don't realize the essence of time.
It can be short or long,
It depends on how we see our time.

In the essence of time,
We look back at our childhood only playtime is on the mind,
We don't remember our first friend,we played with,
We don't remember when we first fell down and mom picked you up,
We don't realize the essence of time,
It allhappens in a blink of the human eye.

In the essence of time, We are now teenagers,
So full of ourselves minds egotical in nature,
But We look back remembering the first kiss,
We don't realize the essence of time,
It all happens ina blink of the human eye.

In the essence of time,
We are now adults, some of us in our elderly years,
We look back trying to remember where all the time went,
Our children grew up so fast now with kids of their own,
We remember the sad times too wondering if we could have changed some things,
You see we don't know the essence of time,
It all happens in a blink of the human eye.
How time flies by.
