is this a prayer or is this a secret?
are you saying i'm wrong,
you can decide

THIS IS YOUR ONE CHANCE
make it or break it i guess you could say
silence can sometimes say everything
your words might break into the still and ruin it all
it's your life you can do what you want
but when you profess things that you don't mean
i'm warning you- mistakes are made





one
one
one
one
one
moment of time
life could happen...
prepare yourself for everything
remember you can't get burned if the fire's not lit.
