Time will tell the stories of our life,
the choices made
both good and bad,
the friendships forged
and loves both lost and had.

It will reveal the truth of us,
the prices we would pay,
the pain we would endure,
the lies we'll tell
the souls we'd sell
our future to ensure.

Time will tell the merits of our heart,
the worth of us,
in deed and word
to friends and foe
within man's special herd.

It will reveal the truth of us,
and show us naked,
without disguise,
resurrected,
unprotected
by the glamour of our lies.

Time will tell the value of our life,
the good we've done
for those we know,
the time we offer
to help those others grow.

It will reveal the truth of us
and bare our secrets
for all to see,
crystal clear,
without veneer,
within life's churning sea.
