If I wake up and you aren't there Who else will show me that they care I would feel alone or trapped inside I would be unable to roll with the tide All great pairs travel in two I am nothing if I'm not with you

Two
Three seconds could be rough Three seconds might feel tough And When the time comes that our seconds are up, Will three seconds ever be enough? Here I stand before you and say, Life is short so live your own way When the sun comes out and you see the light, Do u feel joy or shield your eyes in fright? I have seen deaths bitter end I sometimes feel it closing in Then I look up i see gods hand I suddenly feel tall where I stand Your three seconds will come and pass So Be proud of your life and know it won't last Your three seconds draw near with every tick So be careful with who u pick to spend those last three seconds with

Three seconds
As each second passes The day turns to dawn Our time could be over Before we even know it's gone It's time to start again The turning of a page Something big just happened Now everything has changed People pass it by They have somewhere to be Others crowd around Shocked by what they see One man tries to help He starts to call the cops It is of course all pointless At this stupid four way stop There alone Is the child The one who has survived She screams for her daddy Be he can't be revived He is gone today The light has found him there It seems to be all over But still hundreds stare They can't believe this man The one the child adored Had his life end so quickly At the age of thirty four So what exactly happened? We will never know When hit and runs occur The facts dont always show And what of the little girl? The one whose daddy died The one who screamed in fear The one with terror filled eyes She was by herself And frightened as can be When someone came to stop her From crying endlessly Although she was just as scared And didnt know what to do Her mother stood by her side Thinking news was due But as the sun went down Nothing important was said This was just another case Of a father shown an early bed When the day was finally over And the body taken away The crowd all left slowly For their was no reason to stay years went by without him And only sadness came Yet as many lost all hope The child did not do the same Most felt pity towards her But she didnt want it to be so Her sadness was all over When happiness should be low Reporters used to ask her How do u manage to get through All the heart ache you were caused By a man you never even knew She would always smile Because they did not know Her fathers greatest teaching Was given to her ages ago Although she was little then His words will always stick She didnt understand it at first But the accident made it click As soon as she could talk She always remembered him say You can't live in one moment You have to seize the day

One moment

I fear the fright of every man, One that can't be helped or canned, The feelings inside me start to bubble, Again and again I feel nothing but troubled, It hurts to say and I hate to show, But sad as it is, my weakness grows, It's hard to act or find the words, The fear inside can't be cured, Everyone has insecurities, Some get choked up or even freeze, The Lord tells us "be happy and do not fear", But thats not easy when he isnt standing here, So what is the fright of every man? Is it a lack of love from his clan? Is it a fear of flying high, Only to fall and eventually die? Some are frightened at the sight of spiders, But real fear is known by those spun like tires, Round and round there lives have gone, But what will it be like at the final dawn? As the old turn and start to go dreary, We can only feel bad that they are so weary When they breathe the final breath of life, Will all they worked for be cut up with a knife? The biggest fear of every man Is what will be left when he can no longer stand, Will years be wasted and spent in the dark, Or can you do something and be a spark? Life needs to be spent with kindness and class, But do what u can to make your memory last
