Weight of a MinuteRR

What's a minute of your time worth? This song was written recently upon the news of Crystal the waitress who was tragically killed in car accident causing me to re-prioritize what truly is meaningful to spend time on in whatever time, albeit short, we have. This was my original version. ------------------------------------------- I read the news today, In our little town, A waitress, a single mom, Five kids and dreams, Gone in an instant, just like that. Makes you think how life can slip away, Like dust on the wind, In the hurry of the day, Working for a paycheck, Trading time for nothing much. Eight hours to sleep, Eight to toil and grind, The clock spins while Projects left in the shadows, No time to breathe, no time to live. Rushing past the flowers, Ignoring butterflies, Lost in the glow of screens, Pretending we’re alive, But all we seem to find is a waste of precious time. Makes you think how life can slip away, Like dust on the wind, In the hurry of the day, Working for a paycheck, Trading time for nothing much. Feeding birds from my hand, Listening to the old ones, Stories left untold, Moments wasted, like sand, Caught in the hustle, Forget to live, forget to hold. So I’ll take a moment, Breathe in the breeze, Throw away the numbers, And find some peace, Life’s too short to lose, Every weighty minute. ©2025 - All rights reserved Lyrics – if any, graphics, audio production.
