If I were a clock
How happy I’d be
That all of the humans
So depend upon me
We are many, we clocks
And scarcely is found
A place where we’re not
In which humans are bound
With two hands that go ‘round
Or digital display
We never stop working
Through the night and the day
Time to wake up and go
To school, work, or to play
Get going, don’t be late
There’s no time to delay
Those funny humans
Always hurrying about
See all we can make them do
Without even a shout
Tick tock tick tock
One second at a time
There’s no stopping us now
Unless we unwind
And still we remind them
“Life’s passing” we say
And even if we stop
We’re still right twice a day
