Should the world end tomorrow
What on this Earth would you do?
Would you wallow in misery and sorrow?
Or leave a testament strong and true?
If you could utter just one phrase
That the whole world could hear
Would you start another craze?
Or fill humanity with fear?
If you could change the Earth
What would be your legacy?
Would you leave something of worth?
Or would it be lost to history?
Would your voice heard round the world
Speak in wise and unforgettable words?
Or would it simply sound absurd?
And soon forgotten afterwards?
If you held a grain of sand
And eternity in your hand
Would you know it? Would you blow it?
Would you even understand?
If all the great minds on the planet
Suddenly deferred to you
Would you be nothing but a gannet?
With a selfish point of view?
