It seems hardly a day goes by
As another cloud vanishes from the sky
Another tree cut down in the forest
Another animal lies down to die.
It seems a minute since my last heartbeat
That a sole stranger walks down the street
That a single teardrop rolls down your face
That a homeless child had no food to eat.
It seems only a moment that an angel sighed
That a heartbroken lover had a chance to cry
That a prayer has reached the ears of God
That a broken dreamer has wondered why.
It seems a whisper passed when
Another painful memory begins
A hatred brews from the death of love
That a damaged soul is revived again.
It seems an eternity since my last caress
Since my life was void of distress
But now I know I've encountered
A new level of loneliness.
