Borrowed Time

[Verse] Sittin' on the porch, storm clouds rollin' in, Old red rocker creaks, like a whisper in the wind, Thunder starts to rumble, lightning starts to flash, Time just seems to slip, like water through the grass. [Verse 2] Watched my boy grow tall, like the oak in the yard, Life can be so simple, but sometimes it feels so hard, Thinkin' 'bout my dad and how he never got to see, Me become a father, will I miss my boy's journey? [Chorus] Days go by so fast, like a train that’s on the track, Wonderin’ ‘bout the future, and never gettin’ back, Feel the rain start pourin’, as the sky begins to cry, On this borrowed time, every moment passes by. [Verse 3] Momma used to tell me, "Son, cherish what you get, Life’s a fleeting sunrise, don’t you ever forget," Pickin' up the pieces, of a life that once was clear, Talking to the silence, hoping someone will hear. [Verse 4] Lightning paints the sky, in a wild unfinished art, Wind brings back the echoes, of a slowly mending heart, Little boy inside, laughs and asks me why, Rain falls on my soul, but there's a fire in my eye. [Chorus] Days go by so fast, like a train that’s on the track, Wonderin’ ‘bout the future, and never gettin’ back, Feel the rain start pourin’, as the sky begins to cry, On this borrowed time, every moment passes by.
