Tom-tom says the clock
The secret time checker
Checking the hour of rest
And the hour of rise
With you many are working
And with you many stop working
Without you there is no proper record of death
Putting in the record the number of life and death
Tom-tom says the clock
All human uses you right
And you put many wrong
You rations the day and the night
And birth is known for death
Your inventor meant doom,
But the earth uses you for peace
What is the world without time?
And what is man without time?
