You ask me why I place a check on my calendar each day
They're very small, but I still see them, from even far away

No one really knows just why, and I don't bother to explain
But when thoughtful in the evening time, my day re-lives again

Its rather hard to explain it all, just an oddity I do.
I mark down every day I'm blessed, just sharing life with you..

So flow the sands through the hourglass.
Time slowly slipping away.
Somewhere between what's real and what seems,
we sell out, for just one more day

Short is the life as we know it
Would it matter if time would stand still
But somewhere along, on the path right or wrong,
we acknowledge that it never will..

A cry pierces out, through our shadows of doubt.
In terror our steps would take flight.
But, is it just the voices inside us, crying out,
and they know we're not getting it right?

I took a walk in the shoes of my brother today..
A whole new world in my vision, unfurled
Through his eyes I saw me, and its so clear to see,
There's not near enough love in this world.
