A crying wolf is howling, alone and never knowing
whispered words help those who are lost
days laid out and answers piled, lullaby’s for a child
spoken amen is spoken soft

wars go on with memories, secret notes inside the binder
blinded eyes that start to see, time moves slowly when you watch the timer

time is neatly traveling, emotions are unraveling
shot rings out and then it falls the prey
the youth has begun running wild, underdog has won the title
all the words that older people say
all the people in the pews, receive the preacher’s godly news
all hearing is focused on the timer

hands on the clock will never stop the timer sets off the alarm
the sun removes it’s rays, the clouds move in right before the storm

one man will become the loser and one man will become the finder
no one is alerted because no one took the time to set the timer
