Can night be turned to day

and time told to release its sway

Can water be turned to vapor

Without heat, without fire

Without spark, without ire

Can broken bones be told to mend

And troubled waters told to still

Without winds stopping to hear the plight

Without mercy, without peace

Without resting, without cease

One moment

One precious moment alone with You

One heartbeat for feelings to break through

One pause

One pause to dull the ache

One second to break away

To gaze upon Your face

To smile as once before

No holding back

No more
