THE WORLD'S FATE
And the world paused
As if drawing a deep breath
All around me came stillness
The calm before the storm
And the people stood in silence
Staring at each other
The with a mighty rumble
The storm came upon the world
Lightning flashed and thunder roared
Destroying all that I held dear
Then someone yelled "This is not right!"
With shock I saw it was myself
And the world paused
Then began to change
All around me
Things returned the same
The world paused
As if drawing a deep breath
All around me came stillness
The calm before the storm
And I stood in silence
Knowing what is to come
Unable to change a thing
Unable to alter fate
And then the storm broke
On me and me alone
No time to realize
I'd taken the world's fate
Upon myself
And the world paused
As if drawing a deep breath
All around me came stillness
The calm before the storm
And the people stood in silence
Staring at each other
The with a mighty rumble
The storm came upon the world
Lightning flashed and thunder roared
Destroying all that I held dear
Then someone yelled "This is not right!"
With shock I saw it was myself
And the world paused
Then began to change
All around me
Things returned the same
The world paused
As if drawing a deep breath
All around me came stillness
The calm before the storm
And I stood in silence
Knowing what is to come
Unable to change a thing
Unable to alter fate
And then the storm broke
On me and me alone
No time to realize
I'd taken the world's fate
Upon myself
