And the world paused
As if drawing a deep breath
All around me came stillness
The calm before the storm
And the people stood in silence
Staring at each other
Then with a mighty rumble
The storm came upon the world
Lightning flashed and thunder roared
Destroying all that I held dear
Then someone yelled "This is not right!"
With shock I saw it was myself
And the world paused
Then began to change
All around me
Things returned the same
The world paused
As if drawing a deep breath
All around me came stillness
The calmed before the storm
And I stood in silence
Knowing what is to come
Unable to change a thing
Unable to change our fate
And then the storm broke
On me and me alone
No time to realize
I'd taken the world's fate
Upon myself
