Within the Breath of a Moment
You wake for the anticipation of a brand new day
Learning of life, to spread your wings and fly away
You can see in your minds eye the view of such beauty
Within the safety of home you dream of Eventuality
You stand at the border, looking out at the great beyond
But one wrong step and then your dreams shall be gone
Lost forever with the blistering heat of pain
Drowned in the tears that shall never once fade
You plea for your loved ones, but they are nowhere to be found
To a stranger, a healer lost in his own eternal doubt
Hellish heat drains all strength, all Will to survive
As you contemplate all you lost, your love, your sky
You beg for mercy but the strangers will never hear
Lost in their own pains and miseries they must bear
I was there, I saw you plea, I saw you longing to live
But I was too doubtful, to scared to give
To give my time, my energy, my hope to you
Had I only known what it was that my hope could do
Could it have saved you? Would it have helped?
Too much time has gone by for me to truly know
A moment passed and you saw a dream of purest love
A moment passed and you were gone
