SPEC OF TIME

If we live to be 100 we think of this as old…but in comparison to a fossil over 100 million years old this is just a Spec of Time…a mere grain of sand in a desert.

Here are the words of my song:
SPEC OF TIME by Tim Kent

TODAY MY FINGER TOUCHED A PRECIOUS PIECE OF HISTORY
THAT EVOLVED A HUNDRED MILLION YEARS AGO
THE REMARKABLE REMAINS OF AN EGG THAT IT IS CLAIMED
CAME FROM A DINOSAUR SO LONG AGO

AND THIS MADE ME THINK OF TIME WHAT A SHORT TIME THAT WE LIVE
AND BREATHE AND SING AND DANCE UPON OUR LAND
SO LET US ALL BE MERRY AND ENJOY EACH YEAR WE LIVE
AND REMEMBER WE ARE MORTAL GRAINS OF SAND

Chorus:
IF WE LIVE TO BE A HUNDRED THIS IS JUST A SPEC OF TIME
A MERE DROP OF RAIN OR SNOW OR PUFF OF WIND
IN THE EVERLASTING VASTNESS OF A SPACE THAT WE CALL TIME
OUR YEARS UPON THIS EARTH BLOW WITH THE WIND
OUR YEARS UPON THIS EARTH BLOW WITH THE WIND

AND THE FOSSILS THAT WE FIND ARE LIKE JIGSAWS OF OUR MIND
THAT BUILD UP HISTORY FOR US TO SEE
IF WE LOOK BACK TO THE PAST AND KNOW WHERE WE’VE COME AT LAST
WE HAVE EVOLVED FROM ONE GREAT FAMILY TREE

SO DON’T THINK YOURSELF SO OLD KEEP IN MIND THE WORDS I’VE TOLD YOU
AND REMEMBER THAT OUR LIFE’S A GRAIN OF SAND
AND ENJOY EACH YEAR YOU LIVE IT’S A SPEC OF TIME TO GIVE
TO THE FOSSILS IN THIS WORLD AND ON OUR LAND

Chorus:
IF WE LIVE TO BE A HUNDRED THIS IS JUST A SPEC OF TIME
A MERE DROP OF RAIN OR SNOW OR PUFF OF WIND
IN THE EVERLASTING VASTNESS OF A SPACE THAT WE CALL TIME
OUR YEARS UPON THIS EARTH BLOW WITH THE WIND
OUR YEARS UPON THIS EARTH BLOW WITH THE WIND
OUR YEARS UPON THIS EARTH BLOW WITH THE WIND

Hope you like this…good wishes.
