Crucial Moment

So many people will come and go
Past their time before they know
Swear they were there from the start
Never had it in their hearts

Things you do--come back to you
Things you've said--echo on inside your head
Figureheads come cheap these days
No one listens to what they say
In their faces I see the fear
A crucial moment drawing near

You pay the price--take bad advice
What they said--echoes on in your head
