Tiden rinne (Die Zeit rinnt)
A classical crossover piece featuring a children's choir and a full orchestra, The song is in a minor key, with a slow tempo that builds to a more energetic, but still melancholic, pace, The instrumentation includes strings, brass, woodwinds, and percussion, creating a rich and full sound, The male spoken word is delivered with a dramatic and emotional tone, while the children's choir sings a soaring, lyrical melody, The production is clean and spacious, allowing each element to be heard clearly, The song structure is linear, with a clear progression from spoken word to choral performance, The melody is memorable and emotionally resonant, characterized by its wide vocal range and expressive phrasing, The overall mood is one of hopeful melancholy, with a sense of grandeur and epic scale

Lyrics
Intro
Tiden rinne fluch,
De sinne giet ûnder,
Jong en âld stean tsjinoer,
Sjochend nei it each fan de oare.
Strophe 1
Jongfolke roppe: “Wy wolle flugger gean!”
Harren dreamen fol fjoer en ljocht.
Mar âlden sjogge stiller oan,
Tiden hat alles, tiden hat rjocht.
Refrain
Tiden rinne, tiden glidet fuort,
Jong en âld yn striid mei it fort.
Harkje nei it hert, seach net allinne op tiid,
Hâld mei elkoar, fyn yn ’e midden de ryd.
Strophe 2
De âlden fertelle fan dagen lang lyn,
Fan wûnen en segen, fan leafde en triennen.
De jongerein roppe: “Dat is net fan ús tiid!”
Mar guon wurden kinne noch altyd binen.
Strophe 3
It skimer fan de sinne bringt de midden fan ’e dei,
Folk fynt balans tusken swart en wyt.
De tiid feroaret alles, mar kin ek ferbûn bliuwe,
Elkoar leare, fiele, dat is wat bliuwt.
Refrain
Tiden rinne, tiden glidet fuort,
Jong en âld yn striid mei it fort.
Harkje nei it hert, seach net allinne op tiid,
Hâld mei elkoar, fyn yn ’e midden de ryd.
Strophe 4
Jong wol spoedich, âld wol fêst hâlde,
Mar elkenien wit dat tiden ferset hat gjin macht.
It hert fan de mienskip kloppet stadichoan,
It lêst fan tiden kin de frede net ferneatigje.
Strophe 5
En as de skimer yn nacht feroaret,
Fynt men wolheid yn ynsjoch en praat.
Jong en âld kinne ûnder ien loft libje,
Tiden bliuwt, mar leafde giet nea fuort.
Outro
Tiden rinne, tiden glidet fuort,
Jong en âld yn striid mei it fort.
Harkje nei it hert, seach net allinne op tiid,
Hâld mei elkoar, fyn yn ’e midden de ryd.
Schluss:
Tiden rinne fluch,
De sinne giet ûnder,
Mar hert by hert, jong en âld,
Fynt men altyd de middenste gong.
