The Nineteenth Hole
Clepsydra Lyrics

You were a small white ball rolling on the grass
You were just a trivial part of the game of golf, insignificant in the grand scheme of things.

Well, we were young and we didn‘t care
We were carefree and didn't take things seriously because we were young.

Why don‘t you sit down and take a rest
You seem exhausted from constantly moving around, maybe it's time to take a break.

`Cause you look tired of turning in search of release
You seem to be searching for something but can't find it, and it's making you tired.

The world is with you, oh yes, with you
You have support and people who care about you, you're not alone.

We‘re just someone you can count on
We're here for you and you can rely on us.

`Cause we are dreamers in a dreamer‘s land!
We have big dreams and are surrounded by others who also dream big.

A dozen kids with no cares
We were a group of carefree kids, enjoying life in the moment.

We had to run through the day, and then laugh through the night
We had a lot of energy and spent our days running around, but we always found time to laugh and enjoy each other's company at night.

While you went to hole number nine
While you continued playing the game of golf and moving on to the next hole, we were having our own fun elsewhere.

...a tear drop on our skin.
We were emotional and the tears we shed left physical marks on our skin, evidence of our pain.

There was a deep crack in being.
Something within us was broken or damaged, causing us emotional pain.

But you still held your club,
Despite our pain, you continued playing golf and holding onto your club, symbolizing your perseverance and strength.

and a few dozen friends for that pain
You had friends who were a source of comfort for you during difficult times.

We had to smile through the day...
Even though we were in pain, we tried to put on a brave face and smile during the day.

As I see your mind in overflow,
I see that your mind is working overtime, filled with thoughts and emotions.

I carry you right through the door
I help you navigate through difficult times and provide support when you need it most.

The strength that you show from your heart,
You display incredible inner strength during tough times.

is reflected in your eyes
Your strength and resilience can be seen in your eyes, which convey your emotions.

And I see...
I see the depth of your emotions and the strength you possess.

We had to smile through the day,
Despite our pain, we tried to remain positive and happy during the day.

and cry through the night
When we were alone and with our thoughts at night, we couldn't help but cry and express our emotions.

We stand strait and keep hoping
We stand tall and continue to hope for better times, even though things may be tough right now.

I know somewhere we realized...
At some point, we all came to the realization of something important.

`Cause we were fighting
We were in the middle of a difficult battle or struggle.

I‘m sure you made the big part of it
You were a major player or contributor in the battle we were facing.

You reached green number eighteen,
You made it to the final hole of the golf course.

we were on tee number three
Meanwhile, we were still at the beginning of the course at tee number three, symbolizing our struggles and how much farther we still had to go.

And we were dreamers
Despite our struggles, we still had big dreams and hopes for the future.

I see us playing so careless in the classroom beside
I remember us playing and having fun in the classroom near the golf course, carefree and without worries.

And we were hundreds
There were so many of us, like a big community of dreamers.

When we were forced to realize
When we finally faced the truth about our situation and the difficulties we were facing.

While we were drowning in rashness
While we were struggling and making hasty decisions that were leading us nowhere.

You were on fairway nineteen...
While we were struggling, you were already close to finishing the course, symbolizing the difference in where we were in life.
