Everyone's Master

Time does not wait for the saint or the sinner
Or for the celebrity or the billionaire
In a World where everybody wants to be a winner
Losers are many and winners are rare

Today is the only time that we can live in
And yesterday a memory of what has been and gone
Tomorrow will dawn but not for everybody
And the clock on our lives ever keeps ticking on

Time it does weaken the strong and the healthy
Rusts steel and iron and causes decay
Cannot be bribed by the influential and wealthy
And on every life does have the final say

Time it goes on and it will be forever
People to life come and life from them go
All mortals must die and humans are mortals
And eventually time becomes everyone's foe

Time that rusts iron is everyone's master
And does not respect people for their wealth and fame
It has been and it will be forever
And it treats everyone and all things as the same.
