If I sit here just long enough,
maybe I'll forget
Just for a minute
If I let the sun kiss my face and the breeze cool my skin,
maybe I can pretend
Just for a minute
If I focus on the birds and my little girls laugh,
if I could just be present
Just for a minute

If I sit here just long enough,
maybe I'll forget
Just for a minute
If I let the sun kiss my face and the breeze cool my skin,
maybe I can pretend
Just for a minute
If I focus on the birds and my little girls laugh,
if I could just be present
Just for a minute
For sixty seconds, I just want to feel secure.
For sixty seconds, I want to be sure
that I’m allowed a good life,
and I don’t have to be the one who ruins it.
