We are wasting every minute to take back every second
We lost
but we know that those moments that we wasted
Are wrinkles on our faces and the Lines upon the ground
Developed from the idle sound
we lost it
And we'll never get it back
I thought of actions of purpose
Clear the dust off the surface
Of the cross that I beared
The one we once shared
Wipe the sleep from my eyes
Cause today I will try
To do something useful
Speak words that are truthful
To impact forever
Thats something I never
Could do for you

This is still a work in progress, and I don't consider any of my work to be completely finished. All constructive criticism and brutal honesty will be greatly appreciated.
