Mr. Altig’s Overview of the Wonderful Dharma of the Lotus Sutra

“Time’s Sweet Sway” is more than just a song; it’s an invitation to experience time as a melodic force, one that is both gentle and unapologetically unpredictable. It captivates with its poetic narrative and musicality, drawing the listener into a state where the ephemeral nature of time is celebrated rather than feared—a sweet, lingering reminder that in every fleeting moment, there lies an enduring beauty.

[Verse]
The clock it shivers and shakes
Each tick a ripple it makes
Time ain’t no straight line to run
It curves and grooves under the sun

[Verse 2]
A second’s a wink then it’s gone
Yesterday lingers all night long
Moments leap like skipping stones
Echoes hum through my bones

[Chorus]
Time bends like a sweet guitar string
Each note a memory that sings
It ain’t cruel it just flows
Where it stops nobody knows

[Verse 3]
Dreams crawl back with no remorse
The past and future change their course
A lifetime dances on the breeze
Knees are weak at mysteries

[Bridge]
Hear that ticking it ain’t straight
Warped by love anger and fate
A melody we can’t contain
Time’s just music in our veins

[Chorus]
Time bends like a sweet guitar string
Each note a memory that sings
It ain’t cruel it just flows
Where it stops nobody knows
