Split Second

That one second, just that one To stand up and fight for someone Those names you hear Those names you hate Those names you could stop with just a twist of fate Will you step up? Can you handle the power? Breaking others down Just to build themselves up Another wave crashing on the beach of bad luck That moment the wave touches the shore That moment of happiness just before The wave slowly washes away But it's sure to be back again someday That one second, just that one When you had the chance to correct the outcome To help the victim in his most desperate hour The courage, the voice, is what we lack Do we really have the strength to fight back This never ending fight will never cease Until we all learn to keep the peace With every passing word, With every passing day Another victim slowly slips away We have a chance to stop all this Will you take that second, just that one? To fight back for someone
