Deafening silence

Don't move. Don't breathe. He'll hear you.

Heart beat. Eyes lock. Run!

Could’ve found the greenest rolling hills

Could’ve climbed a great mountainous peak

With just one day, I’d spend it this way-

All the places I’d seek!

I’d scout for lions under the sun

And eagles in the sky

So much wildlife I wish I’d seen

Before the day I die

I’d search for mermaids in the sea

Or watch for a UFO

So many mysteries unanswered

So many things I’ll never know

I wouldn’t resist any new dish

I’d enjoy every flavor

Spices from Asia or European sweets

Every taste I’d savor!

I might even smoke some psychedelic drug

Or try my luck with shrooms

With so little time, it might be divine

And what have I got to lose?

But I don’t have a month, a week or a day

And it’s time to accept my fate

With only one hour I must be clear

And I hope it’s not too late

The very last thing I’d want to see

Is your smiling, familiar face

And the very last place I’d want to be

Is wrapped in your embrace

My life wasn’t perfect, I’ve made some mistakes

Though I’ve tried to live it true

And nothing else matters, but this final hour

If I can love and be loved by you
