Have you ever stopped to
Have you ever stopped to think,
To take a breath,
And everything falls apart?
Slowed down to be overrun,
Paused while the game plays on?
Standing still,
While the world moves,
Leaving us behind,
Caught in a moment,
In a time no longer the present,
You pause for a second and now you're in the past,
Time passing,
Fast,
Pause to stop and see,
Changing, shifting,
You'll be left,
Desperately,
You'll run,
Just a step behind,
What you're trying to find,
Reaching out you'll barely take hold,
Of what should be yours,
As you've been told.
