9:03

Lyrics to a song about the loss of a loved one. A moment that feels frozen in time.

It was the morning in springtime
I was still young at heart
The world had awakened
I had yet to start
Life had just begun
As there through the window
I received a kiss from the morning sun

I walked to the kitchen
My mother was there
She said, “he is gone now.
May the Lord hear our prayer.”
She wrapped her arms around me
As I looked at the clock
Tick tock, 9:03

And time stood still
The Lord had his fill
Time stood still

I stood there in silence
It hadn’t sunk in
Lost in reflection
A new life to begin
But what of my conscience
What of the story that I’d yet to tell?
The sun is still rising
And now is the time to live well
For now his spirit is living in me
As I look at the clock
Tick tock, 9:03
