Sometimes feeling like hopeless? Yeah, me too! Like I have a secondhand life in a secondhand country, in a secondhand store already picked over for all the good stuff by some rich brats or worse, bullies. Still trying not to be discouraged. Secondhand time is really a metaphor for getting a second chance and not giving up. We all deserve it!  Fight on!  Do not give up!  We are with you!  Or, as another saying I have heard goes, "Slava Ukraini!"

Lyrics:

Whatever you're thinking,
You are not doing fine.
Peer in your mind,
You're on secondhand time.

And it's a long way back,
To the beginning.
But are you too far gone,
This time?

That's not what I said.

Whatever you're reading,
It is not what it seems.
A two bit mystery,
In a periscope dream.

And it's a short glance back,
To your misgivings.
You're in a dim lit, dark,
Coal mine.
We both have that view.

Just keep on searching.
You'll find a passage out.
You've been rehearsing?
Secondhand time is now!

The place where you're bleeding,
It is not where you think.
You'll need a drink,
'Cause you are on the brink.

And there is one way back,
From your cliff-hanger.
And it is not your rope,
Tied noose.
Don't jump from that stool!

Don't quit your searching.
It's sure a long way down.
I hope that rope breaks.
You're not some hand-me-down!

Please don't quit searching.
Could be you're almost there.
Don't quit rehearsing.
Your next act starts right now!

So quit your griping.
Secondhand time is now!

Secondhand time is now!
