Life On Hold

As your dreaming one night,
a voice speaks to you telling
you this, look at yourself,
from the outside, step out of your
body and take a look.

What do you see?  Put your life on
pause and look around of what
you have become, click the re-wind
button of your life, stopping here and there.

Playing some parts, passing others by,
now fast foreward to the present,
look at your self, the way others do.

Are there changed you can make, I do
think you can do better, so why
don't you give it a try.

Waking up, you look around the room
you're all alone, still you wonder,
tomorrow changes you will make.
