I was in Westminster on the day of the terror attack. Such events remind us how fragile life is. Things can change in a split second. We all have millions of alternate what-might-have-been lives......

Lyrics
I felt the sound
I saw the world turn to dust
Fell to the ground
Scrambling for something to trust

Every moment is a risk
Every moment is a million to one
Every second is a sign
Every second is the start of a new day breathing

Split second sooner everything’s lost
Split second later destiny’s crossed

I saw your smile
Calling to me through the crowd
You caught my eye
Wondered, then turned around

Every moment is a chance
Every moment is a million to one
Every second is a sign
Every second is the start of a new dawn gleaming

Split second sooner you might be mine
Split second later love’s out of time

Every moment is a choice
Every moment is a million to one
Every second is a change
Every second is the start of a new world turning

I take my time
Can’t sell my attention too cheap
Waiting in line
Can’t find the conviction to leap

Every moment is a start
Every moment is a million to one
Every second leaves a mark
Every second is the gasp of a flipside fading

Split second sooner everything’s won
Split second later everything’s gone
Split second bright
Split second black
Split second over
No turning back
