let's just pause for a second

and enjoy this beaty that is our earth

let's open our eyes for a second

and watch its imminent rebirth

let's contemplate for a second

about what might have gone wrong

let's just reflect for a second

about how we could have gotten along

let's sigh for just a second

as realization finally sets in

let's cry for just a second

as we prepare for the end

a second is not enough

to settle life's lot

but look to the horizon

a second is all we got
