LYRIC FOR SALE

By Val Anderson

Verse
If I could stop time
For just a few minutes
I would converse with myself
Then invite you to be part of it.

Ask you the questions
Which have haunted me
Like if I had no fear
Would fortitude be inside me.

Chorus
But time moves on at its own pace
As on second pass another takes its place.
Like count down to the end of an Olympic race
Hoping the finish line will help me face my fears.

Verse
Were we born only to die
Why does the sadness and joy
That I feel deep inside
End up making me cry.

Why love often turns to hate
And both of these emotions
Can make me enraged
And sometimes feel great.

Hook
And why the sun rises each and every day
The moon controls the ebb and flow of waves
Yet we have no say in mother nature’s affairs.
I want to know
I got to know
What would you say?

Verse
Why am I young just to grow old
Ending up just getting ignored
Self-respect totally destroyed
A life forgotten, story untold.
I got to know
Would you be more bold?

Chorus
But time moves on at its own pace
As on second pass another takes its place.
Like count down to the end of an Olympic race
Hoping the finish line will help me face my fears.
