Sitting in class as the lights go out
Wondering what's going on.
The lights come back
And the clock's moving fast
Something is definitely wrong
Maybe it's a sign from God
Telling me I have to live on
Life goes too fast
And I don't want to miss it
So I speak for the first time
And am astounded by my courage
The clock reads 1:15
But it's really only 9:20
And it's still moving fast
I finally state an opinion
And people debate
But somebody's got to yell at the new kid
God send me an angel
To help guide me through
It's become a whole day
In the span of twenty minutes
Yeah, life does move fast

The clock was spinning fast in class after the lights came back on in English and I felt it was a sign from God saying that life's too short and I should live it. Not watch from the sidelines.

Life does go by really fast. Faster than we sometimes even care to say. I remember I used to want to be older to live out my life the way I dream of it to be. But really life has gone by quicker than I really want it to. We all need to realize that we need to live out our life to our full potential. Wonderful poem.
