(A Rock Opera inside of a single song)

Intro:
Gone, gone, gone, gone
Gone, gone, gone, gone, gone

Let it tick, let it tick, let it tick....

Chorus:
Here Today Gone Tomorrow,
Don’t let those good things slip right thru your hands
Just remember, someone is watching,
Life is what happens when you’re making other plans

Let it tick, Plan for tomorrow
let it tick, no time to borrow

Verse 1:
Fame, family, fortune and things
Music, laughter, dreams that fly on wings
Heroes, fans and maybe a wife
That’s what you could miss
If you skate right thru your life

Chorus:
Here Today Gone Tomorrow,
Don’t let those good things slip right thru your hands
Just remember, someone is watching,
Life is what happens when you’re making other plans

Let it tick, Plan for tomorrow
let it tick, no time to borrow

Verse 2:
Values, honor, loyalty, truth,
These are the things that you learn in your youth
Caring, sharing, and a future that’s bright,
That’s what you could miss, if you waste away your life

Chorus:
Here Today Gone Tomorrow,
Don’t let those good things slip right thru your hands
Just remember, someone is watching,
Life is what happens when you’re making other plans

Let it tick, Plan for tomorrow
let it tick, no time to borrow

Bridge:
If I can dream of a time where nothing was wrong
(Everything always was wrong)
I’d always seem to prevail and I always felt strong
(Gone, gone, gone, gone, gone, gone)
Is it your head is it your head, is it your head, Gotta go to bed
Is it your head is it your head, is it your head, Gotta go to bed
Let’s hold on to all that is dear
Why do we give up all we love without shedding a tear?

Solo

Verse 3:
Seasons, nature, freedom and friends,
Health and wealth, chances never end,
Lovers who bond to a future so bright
That’s what you’ll find if you make time in your life

Chorus:
Here Today Gone Tomorrow,
Don’t let those good things slip right thru your hands
Just remember, someone is watching,
Life is what happens when you’re making other plans

Let it tick, Plan for tomorrow
let it tick, no time to borrow
Let it tick!
