Realize -

Do you realize how long that tree's been alive?
Do you realize how many stars are in the sky?
Do you realize how big of a universe we live in?
Do you realize every day we live to see our end?

Did you see the sun rise?
Did you see it set?
Did the wind sting your eyes?
Did the rain make you soaking wet?

Did you run through the waves approaching the shore?
Did you marvel at the beauty of the Nuclear core?
Did you feast on the media creating a complication?Did you watch us inject a man streamed to every computer accross the nation?

Do you realize how long that child's been alive?
Do you realize how many people he's seen cry
Do you realize how many goals he had planned
Did he realize his life would soon be damned.

Did I realize how much I loved him
Me, even being a guy
I wish I could talk to him
Without my telegram through the sky.

I took too long to realize
what was in front of me
But through the death of one wise man,
a door's been opened unto me.  


Take the time to think a lot
To think of everything you've got
Because you may still be here tomorrow
But your dreams may not.

"In this very breath that we take now lies the secret that all great teachers try to tell us."

WOW!  that just blew my mind.  that really makes you realize! I totally loved the line:
Take the time to think a lot
To think of everything you've got
Because you may still be here tomorrow
But your dreams may not.
