Momento

By, Wendiann Alfieri

Life drives a hard bargain

You lose, you win

Life is a gamble 

Whilst some lives in shambles

And others still adding on debt

To protect whatever’s left of them yet

Just for another breath of air

Some people don’t care...

But I. Wish. 

Everyday I wish we all had just a moment

Just a moment

A moment where no one cries 

A moment where no one is terrified

A moment where we’ll see the sun 

Set and rise

In the sky

And in that moment

That precious moment 

People pay for what they’ve done.

They’ve lost a bet 

Or they’ve hit and run

And not everyone is perfect

People make mistakes 

But sometimes it’s worth it

If today there’ll be a moment

For all of us a moment to see

A moment to see in clarity

Just a moment 

That one moment a moment that’ll be worth it

It’ll be worth it

A moment of a rainbow in the sky

A moment where everyone’s sins are forgiven

A moment when the birds can fly

A moment where fate just can’t decide

Because we’ll have a moment synchronized 

Where we will all unite

Hand in hand 

A moment where no one cries 

A moment where no one is terrified

A moment where we’ll see the sun 

Set and rise

In the sky

And in that moment

That precious moment 

It’s a moment 

A moment where no one

Dies
