Tick tock tick tock, can you not hear the ticking of the clock?
As time flies by I continue to walk with my heart on lock
For it has been opened and crushed enough in the past
Nothing will ever last as life passes me by so fast
.
.
.
Eyes on the future, working to get my ass in Chitown
Always on the move, never resting, can never lie down
Got my hopes on Columbia College yet it'll be very hard
Although I receive high regard, I'm terrified of being discard
My parents worry about the high price I will have to pay
But their sad eyes portray how they hate me going away
Even though I have yet to be accepted their hearts ache
For my own sake, this is a unique chance I have to take
Took TOEFL test and passed with such class and style
As I see my mom's proud smile I know it was worthwhile
.

Now I work every weekend to get the money I will need
Until my hands bleed but I am certain that I'll succeed
For this is my dream, my passion, everything I live for
With one foot through the door, like an eagle I'll soar
