Intro
Yeah… time just spiral, never straight line, Young me thought forever was mine. Now I see echoes in every sign, Age don’t fade you—just redefine.
Verse 1
I was born in the glow, wide eyes to the world, Chasin’ every dream, see the map unfurled. Sandbox lessons, learn to trust and fold, Got scars on my knees, but my spirit gold. Mom said patience, teacher said rules, Friends taught games, but life taught tools. Heart on sleeve, I was young and proud, Didn’t hear the clock, life was loud. Thought the future infinite, sky no limit, Every setback, I bounced right in it. Peer applause like sunlight warm, I was growin’ fast in the quiet storm.
Pre-chorus
Had that fire, had no fear, Didn’t see time, but it’s always near. Tryin’ to be grown while the days were kind, Didn’t know the youth was the real gold mine.
Chorus
Time ain’t linear, it loop and bend, We start, we rise, we fall, transcend. Every stage of life just blend again, I’m the child, the man, and the old within. (Yeah… time don’t wait, it spin, it spin.)
Verse 2
Now I’m forty, bills in a pile, Kids got dreams, I just want ’em to smile. Mirror showin’ wisdom and a hint of fatigue, But I’m richer in the soul, that’s a different league. Career built strong, but I miss the chase, Used to sprint through time, now I jog the race. Respect earned, but the weight is thick, Mentor mode on, life move quick. Old friends fewer, but the talks more real, We toast to the years, to the wounds that heal. Saw my parents age, saw my heroes fade, Now I’m teachin’ young bloods not to trade their shade.
Pre-chorus
Got pride in the climb, but the clock don’t lie, Every tick remind, wings still fly. Halfway there, I ain’t done yet, Every scar a story I won’t forget.
Chorus
Time ain’t linear, it loop and bend, We start, we rise, we fall, transcend. Every stage of life just blend again, I’m the child, the man, and the old within. (Yeah… time don’t wait, it spin, it spin.)
Verse 3
Now I move slow, but my mind still blaze, Seein’ all my yesterdays in soft replay. Peace in the silence, joy in the rain, Pain in the bones, but I love the pain. Legacy talk, I done built my frame, Names fade quick, but the love remain. Grandkids laugh, and I feel that spark, Like a loop in the beat bringin’ back the start. Time short now, but it feel so wide, Every breath a gift, no need to hide. Youth think old means the end of show, Nah, it’s just the encore before you go.
Bridge
Every stage a mirror, every tear a rhyme, Every age a remix of another time. We don’t stop, we just change design, The body age, but the soul still prime.
Chorus
Time ain’t linear, it loop and bend, We start, we rise, we fall, transcend. Every stage of life just blend again, I’m the child, the man, and the old within. (Spin… spin… yeah, we never end.)
Outro
Hear the clock tick slow, that’s grace in disguise, Every line I lived still in my eyes. From the cradle to the dusk, same light inside, Time don’t kill you—it let you rise.
Inside the recording
Yeah… time just spiral, never straight line, Young me thought forever was mine.
Had that fire, had no fear, Didn’t see time, but it’s always near.
“Time ain’t linear, it loop and bend, We start, we rise, we fall, transcend.
