Of All the People I'Ve Ever Known...
Of all the people I’ve ever known,
You are the first to whom I have shown
My passion, my heart, my body decayed,
The track in my mind and the train it’s delayed.
Now faster and faster to make up what’s lost,
Oh! It’s out of control, just think of the cost!
All are aware there’s only so much one can take
Before it’s too late to put a foot on the brake.
Still,
the end will come suddenly, with shock and distress,
Many will help, many more couldn’t care less
Because I am just one in 6 billion, you see,
And at least one other will take their chance better than me.
