Tick, tick, tick
a baby's cry then a mother's joy
the doctor's hurry and the father's worry
the family gathers suddenly everything matters
as time ticks by
Tick, tick, tick
A camera snapping, little feet tapping
the parent's giggles as the toddler wiggles
the family's happy but it's time for a nappy
as time ticks by
Tick, tick, tick
A school bell ringing and children singing
as backpacks shuffle there is a scuffle
teachers yelling and kids are telling
as time ticks by
Tick, tick, tick
a hand slapping a woman gasping
a father screeching and a mother retreating
a child cowering while the parents are howling
as time ticks by
Tick, tick, tick
a car door slamming
tearful goodbyes
but he's stopped caring
as time ticks by
Tick, tick, tick
music blaring
notifications beeping
teardrops splashing
as time ticks by
Tick, tick, tick
kids laughing
teacher's silence
internal screaming
as time ticks by
Tick, tick, tick
screaming
crying
wailing
time ticks by
