16) Shara

Everybody's counting on you, Shara.
Everything depends on what you do.
All the world's suspended now
with baited breath.
It all comes down to you.

Everyone is waiting on you, Shara.
No-one can let go until you move.
All of the decisions
fell into your hands
when you walked into the room.

Now, no-one wants to rush you
as you clear what's on your plate,
though lives are ticking by
in every second that you wait.

Everyplace is watching for you, Shara.
Every option lined up, row by row,
and all the preparations made for any place
you might decide to go.

Every eye is looking at you, Shara,
never blinking, though the light gets blurred.
The moon and stars hang silent
in an empty sky
and wait to hear your word.

and no-one wants to take your place
or tell you what to say,
and no-one wants to force you,
but we will not go away...

Everybody's counting on you, Shara.
Everything depends on what you do.
All the world's suspended now
with baited breath.
It all comes down to you.
