Tick-Tock Tick-Tock
But through her painful screams
Nobody hears the clock
"It's a boy!" one doctor announces
As the woman heavily sighs
The baby is put into her arms,
She smiles even as he cries
She counts ten fingers and toes.
He's as healthy as he can be
Eye dark and a tuft og the hair,
And beautiful skin of light ebony
"A name for your son?"
A nurse askes he sweetly
Her eyes closed as she spoke,
"Joshua Andrew" she say meekly
Then exhaustion brings sleep to her
Tick-Tock Tick-Tock
But through a child's laughter and joy
Nobody hears the clock
"Kids, settle down!" the young mother shouts,
As two children run around and play
the first is a 5 year old Joshua
The second is his best friend, Renee
The children run into the yard.
The sun greets them with friendly rays.
Their minds are still innocent and nieve,
Since they're still in their youthful days
They play games of pretend
Imagination turn them into valient knights
And why shouldn't they have fun?
They don't know about the lies, deceit, and the fights
Or any hardships still yet to come
Tick-Tock Tick-Tock
But through her painful screams
Nobody hears the clock
"This party rocks!" a teenager yells
As she dances to her favorite song
Beautiful, thin fram, perfect tan skin,
Chestnut eyes, and hair soft, red, and long.
Renee has grown up to be a beautiful girl.
And all the guys seem to notice
She walks to a table and picks up her drink
Then she slowly begins to lose focus.
Seh begins to sway and stumble
Then she hears a deep voice shout
She sees Joshua's face looking down at her,
So she feels protected before she passes out.
Luckily, Joshua brings he home safely
Tick-Tock Tick-Tock
But, though there is silence,
Nobody hears the clock
"I...I don't know what to say..." Joshua mumbled
As he looked into her eyes,
She really didn't notice
Didn't think this would take him by suprise
"He asked me last night, and I said yes!
Aren't you happy for me?"
Renee just didn't notice,
Rahter, she chose not to see.
Joshua smiled, he said he was proud
Held back his tears as he gave her a hug
And he thought about what lie in his pocket
For there a diamond ring sat, nice and snug
A ring his true love never saw
Tick-Tock Tick-Tock
But through moans of ecstacy
Nobody hears the clock
"I love you..." he whispered inot her ear
As their passion comes to its height.
And they fail to notice
That from the doorway there enters a small ray of light
The man in the doorway breaths heavily
And he runs toward the secret couple
He pushes Renee aside and off of the bed
So he can give Joshua trouble
A fight soon occurs
Renee's husband soon finds his gun
He points it a Josh
And Renee starts to run
But in a twist, only the femal lovebird meets her end
Tick-Tock Tick-Tock
But through his final prayer
Nobody hears the clock
"Dear Lord in heaven..." Joshua slowly begins
As he holds tight to his gun,
"Thank you for everything.
It's been lots of fun.
Five years since you took her...
And I only know one thing for sure."
His words are muffled with tears as he finishes,
"I can't live without her."
With that he pointed his gun
To the side of his head
He held his breath and pulled the trigger
Then fell in a pool of thick red
But his story is still not done
Tick-Tock Tick-Tock
But at the gates of heaven
Nobody hears the clock
"Where am I?" Joshua asked
As he looked around at this new place
He saw only white, he felt nothing
Then a warm hand touched his face.
He turned to see a Godly figure
On his heavenly face there lay a frown
Joshua began to cry
And quickly put his head down
The figure then opened his mouth to speak,
"Do no be ashamed, but listen my son.
His voice was kind, strong, and just.
"Will you listen? Listen as I tell you what you have done."
Somehow, Joshua found strength to say that he would
Tick-Tock Tick-Tock
But through their ignorance
Nobody hears the clock
"Joshua, do you know about time?
Do you know what it really means?"
Joshua remained silent and shook his head
"Well, it is more than it seems.
You don't have forever to live
And you chose to waste the time you had,
But do not fear or worry
I understand. I am not mad
I know that you were going to do it,
Ask her to be yours,
But you should have had better judgement
Then you would have opened the right doors."
Then the true explaination began...
Tick-Tock Tick-Tock
Joshuacan almost hear...but still
Nobody hears the clock
"That night you saved her,
That's when you knew.
The knew that you loved
You hoped she loved you too.
But you thought it would last forever
So you acted to slow.
And then when Renee began to love you...
Well the rest of the story you know.
She tried to appreciate life
But you took you're time. She just couldn't wait
And I wonder now, wouls you do it differently
If you controlled your own fate
Joshua could only weep and nod his head
Tick-Tock Tick-Tock
And only Joshua tries
To hear the clock
Joshua Andrew is granted one more chance
A chance to do things right
When he was among his Lord and savior
He finally saw the light
So he is five once more
And in his house two children play
The first is a five year old Joshua
The second is his best friend, Renee
But Joshua remembers everything
The sex, the lies, and the gun
So this time he's going to do it right
And remember to love, live, and have fun
Let's hope he turns out all right.
