it’s in the trees, in the water 
in the clouds, all above us 
everything is moving forward 
everything is getting older 

the sun and the moon are waiting in silence for us 
they give us the light we need to keep going on 

whatever can happen is going to happen 
whether we worry 
or don’t worry at all 

It's not going backwards 
the passing of time 
even if we want to 
we cannot slow down 

it's in our eyes, in our hearts 
in our thoughts, deep inside of us 
all of us are moving forward 
all of us are getting older 

It's not going backward 
the passing of time 
even if we want to 
we cannot slow down 
we can't slow it down
