What can happen in the blink of an eye?

Our world could change, i don't deny

In only four tenths of a second

There is a lot that could be done

The squeeze of a trigger and a time to regret

A kiss from a loved one you’ll never forget

Mother nature can strike in that fateful blink

And the world around you can suddenly shrink

So many things can happen when your eyelid closes

Like a snapshot, life is caught in varying poses

It happens so incredibly fast, we don’t even think

What will happen this time when I blink

Did love just ignite in that flash of time

Or did something happen that was a crime

In that little movement of an eye

Did a baby release its first cry

Our lives are full of spontaneous events

Tiny little snippets of time without hints

Of what’s coming after the pause

Every effect began with a cause

But we are oblivious to the world during a blink

Oblivious to that tiny little microcosmic link

A blink that in a year averages about seven million

And with each one, something took place before it was done?
