Father Time
Oliva Lyrics

I am the father
I am the creator of time, the one who controls the passage of time.

I am the keeper of time
I am responsible for keeping time moving and ensuring that it continues to flow in the right direction.

I live inside of you
I am always present in your life and I am a part of who you are and what you do.

My hands you don't need to wind
Unlike a traditional clock, my timekeeping mechanisms don't need to be wound or reset - I am always ticking away quietly in the background.

I watch the clocks for you
I keep track of time so that you don't have to - whether it's the hours passing by or the minutes ticking away, I'm always watching.

I put the lines on your face
As you grow older and life passes by, I leave my mark on you in the form of wrinkles and lines that show the passage of time.

I'm moving quickly
Time always seems to be moving too fast, and there's nothing anyone can do to slow it down.

You try to slow down my pace
People often try to slow down time or stop its progression, but it is an unstoppable force that cannot be controlled.

Watch the skies
The passage of time can be seen in the changing of the seasons and the movement of the stars across the sky.

Never ever lies
Time is a constant and reliable force that never changes or deviates from its path.

As your years fly by
As you grow older, time seems to pass more quickly - this is a natural progression and a part of life.

I twist your souls around
The passage of time can sometimes be difficult and challenging, changing people's outlook on life and shaping their souls in different ways.

I control all of your lives
Time is a force that controls everyone's lives - whether we like it or not, we are all subject to its unrelenting progression.
