about

Another song from my upcoming album, "Like Father, Like Son".

lyrics

there is a light in the shadows, and it's coming for me
there is no way to escape, no this isn't a dream
there is a limit to it all, and the clock keeps ticking
(yeah the clock keeps ticking, yeah the clock keeps ticking)
there is a hole in the ground, and it's ready to fill
so many dreams fade away when the heart is still
so we all keep moving while the clock keeps ticking
(yeah the clock keeps ticking, yeah the clock keeps ticking)

we all gotta do what our heart tells us to
we all gotta sort it out
we all gotta make the most of everything
we all gotta job to do

there is a fire in my soul that I can't ignore
and it is burning through my body, right down to the core
and I can't stop now 'cause the clock is ticking
(yeah the clock keeps ticking, yeah the clock keeps ticking)
there is a moment that I find, and it seizes me
I hold on tight as it flies, and it sets me free
and my soul keeps burning while the clock keeps ticking
(yeah the clock keeps ticking, yeah the clock keeps ticking)

we all gotta do what our heart tells us to
we all gotta sort it out
we all gotta make the most of everything
we all gotta job to do

don't let it go away
hold on tight, for your dear life today
don't let it fall apart
hold it tight, don't let it leave your heart

we all gotta do what our heart tells us to
we all gotta sort it out
we all gotta make the most of everything
we all gotta job to do
we all gotta do what our heart tells us to
we all gotta sort it out (yeah the clock keeps ticking, yeah the clock keeps ticking)
we all gotta make the most of everything
we all gotta job to do (yeah the clock keeps ticking, yeah the clock keeps ticking)
