A beating heart
slowly at first, its first beats bearly audible
then they become stronger with time
someday, you would never know they almost stopped
for the day is one that no one will forget, but aren't sure if they want to remember
trapped inside with no place to go
hunting for a way out with their eyes
they didn't know if they'd ever make it out alive
caught up in the horrible moment, they almost wish...
not that it matters now, they are free
their beating heart are the loudest we hear
for without them, many other lives might not be around
so their beating hearts ring out for all the world to know
that one day changed everything
but somehow, it could've been so much worse...
