I stop to rest my mind

I can never fall behind

If I keep track of time

When I flow with the wind

*

If I rest for a while

When the speeding world is wild

I may lose track of time

Before I begin again

**

Flipping rocks

To find buried treasure

My hunger goes beyond

any measure

*

The world will test my mind

I can never fall behind

If I respect the time

And devote more to the land

*

If I rest for a while

When the speeding world grows mild

I must inspect the time

Before I can win again

**

Picking locks

To reach the day’s treasure

My hunger goes beyond

any measure

*

I invest all of my mind

I can never fall behind

If I keep track of time

I know that it won’t end
