Every Second

time
the only gift passed divine
so brief
so fragile
when You shine

every second
a crash in Your spine

the same heart
that thrills to beat at each day break
may leap to death in the love it makes

every second
a lesson in crime

you could tell Me
which way to go
but I haven't got a place to live
it's out of your hands
today I'm leaving

blind
if only for today I will play
tomorrow will build a better way
as every second just flashes right by

a new start
no more remainders of dark
no more waking to find you're in park
with a death wish
locked in your mind

you've shown Me which way to go
now I've found out a way to live
today I'm leaving
