I am racing against the wheel of time,
spinning faster each day that goes by. Take me back where ignorance was bliss. An afternoon was infinite, now the reapers on my wrist.
Lyrics:
It’s not enough
I need more hours in the day
Short and sweet
Such a silly game to play
I want it all
Give me more than I can take
A long life, worth something
Is a hard one to make
I am racing
Against the wheel of time
Spinning faster each day that goes by
Take me back where
Ignorance was bliss
An afternoon was infinite
Now the reapers on my wrist
Take my pride
But please don’t take my time
It’s all I got
Now there’s so much I can’t miss
I wanna see
If the flowers I grew bloom
So play the game and savor it
I guess it’s all that you can do
I am racing
Against the wheel of time
Spinning faster each day that goes by
Take me back where
Ignorance was bliss
An afternoon was infinite
Now the reapers on my wrist
Give me some time that I can borrow
Give me a moment I can keep
I wish today would last forever
Another hourglass to breach
And I know that it’s redundant
But now that you’re here
I’m too aware I’ll have to miss
Part of your story in the near
I am racing
Against the wheel of time
Spinning faster each day that goes by
Take me back where
Ignorance was bliss
An afternoon was infinite
Now the reapers on my wrist
An afternoon was infinite
Now the reapers on my wrist
Thanks for listening ☝️👂❤️
Momento Mori - remember you must die.
It was a different feeling just a few years ago. I could except this truth much easier.
I’ve wrestled with myself whether or not to share this song- and whether or not to write a blog about where it really came from.
When my son was born, buried beneath the overwhelming love and excitement, was the tough reality, that if everything goes perfect, I will die long before him- therefore missing out on the magic of witnessing the entire story he will get to live.
Am I alone in these considerations? Am I the only one who has thought about when my own parents must move on to their next journey beyond?
A heart shattering truth to embrace.
It leaves one question after digestion:
Knowing that we must die; how do we wish live?
I often check in with my core values, I change them when it feels like time to.
These core values are like my lighthouse- when life rocks my boat and it’s storms toss and turn me around- those values shine like a lighthouse to remind me of who I am and where I’m going. I can filter big decisions through my list of values.
For me, number one is family.
And I don’t see it changing before it’s my turn to go.
Be courageous with your life today.
Thanks for reading.
