Pause & Reflect

1.
Pause and reflect
while the music fades
the mood
is just the past
leaping
for the new day
beaming
through the shades
to grasp
the everchanging
world

Let us be the first
to sing true human verse
must be a joyous day
when freedom has its say

2.
Pause & Reflect
the music fades
The mood
is only the past
leaping outward
for the future
beaming inward
through the shades
so that all can see?

Grasp & Begin
the historic dawn brings

Vast change
is humanity
clearing the way
for true intercourse
cheering the new day
when morning birds sing
songs that all can hear?
