Pass Me By
Sarah Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

As I sit and watch the time pass me by the time said bye bye
Until you wake up to life because life will pass you by at any given moment
I blinked one time I blinked two times I blinked three times
That's when I began to sink I bet you would say she is sinking in her bed
Yes I was sinking deep in sin seeking to rise back up
When I heard my master whisper do or die
That's when I started trying my life want pass me by I shall get up
I shall not blink three times I will not be blinded
Because time waits on no one thank God for introducing me to his son
