it’s too late again
he lived his life
but before he’s gone
there’s something left to do
thirteen seconds to smile
there are children on the street
but he’s got no money left
regardless he feels like a thief
so he smiled at them
thirteen seconds to care
there are protests everywhere
usually he ignores this part
he always wanted a fresh start
but people didn’t care
thirteen seconds to shine
someone yelled at him
but he didn’t understand
he was shoved and hit
finally there was his light
thirteen seconds to die
