"Time"

Time is a four lettered word
One that is neither bad nor good
It depends upon how it's heard

It is the enemy when you're running out
Already late, but can do nothing
But race to where you're headed and maybe give a shout

When you are waiting and the other is late
They don't seem to care
Why does this happen, why is it always fate?

Many think their time is more important then yours
If you show up late you must pay
It's not like they are pacing the floors

My time is as important as anyone's can be
Just because you're a doctor or dentist or whatever
Doesn't make you more important then me

I sit here in my inner sanctum awaiting for their show
I bet they will have ready made excuses
Something I care not to know

Everyone has a different perspective of time
Depending on circumstances
One way or another, it seems to be a big hill to climb

Things I Must Earn
Is what the letters mean
It involves patience, and I don't care to wait my turn

To some time means money
I suppose I'm very selfish
'Cause I really don't care, honey

I will agree that it has plenty of worth
Time is counted for when you arrive in this world
They even check their clocks when we leave this earth!
