Lyrics

17

[Lyrics appear in liner notes; otherwise instrumental]

17 seconds of compassion

17 seconds of peace

17 seconds to remember love is the energy

Behind which all is created

17 seconds to remember all that is good

17 seconds to forget all your hurt and pain

17 seconds of faith

17 seconds to trust you again

17 seconds of radiance

17 seconds to send a prayer up

17 seconds is all you really need
