Contemplating Death

In the middle of the universe I stand
                       So alone, though surrounded by love
                       Afraid of today, more afraid of tomorrow
                       I know nothing beyond this small room
                       So alone, though surrounded by love
                       My fate in the hands of hopeful men
                        I know nothing beyond this small room
                        Standing on the precipice of the unknown
                        My fate in the hands of hopeful men
                        Afraid of today, more afraid of tomorrow
                        One with all of those who have gone before
                        In the middle of the universe I stand
