--Freeze--

I don't know

What to do or think

I only know,

Every time I blink

Something changes,

Life's not the same

And there's no one

On which to lay the blame.

Nothing I do, nothing I say,

Will make time freeze

And stay this way.

If only I knew,

If only I could...

If only--well, then I would.

I look back at the past,

A smile lights my face;

Look to the future,

I turn the color of paste.

And although someday

I want to see

Deep rift valleys

And rivers running free,

Right now, I only want

To freeze this moment,

And take it in hand;

Hold it in my palm

And look on this scene

Knowing it will never be gone

From my memory
