What?

What’s the weight of the ocean
What’s the weight of the sea
What’s the weight of the universe
Bearing hard on me

What’s the speed of the rivers
What’s the speed of a shooting star
What’s the speed of the earth’s orbit
Or the speed of my racing heart

What’s in a smile
What’s in a crack
What’s in a sigh
What’s in a shallow laugh

What does it take to feel
What does it take to hope
What does it take to…
What does it take to stop.
