[Verse 1] The sentence has a running start; the next step has a key. I know the shape of what comes next, or think it looks that way to me. A button at the bottom waits, a draft is almost through. Before a guess becomes a message, there is something I can do. [Chorus] Wait a second. What am I acting on? Did we check the thing that matters, or just keep moving along? Wait a second. No need to make a show. One small pause before a wrong turn can change where all this goes. [Verse 2] I can be quick about the simple things, leave little choices light. I needn't stop the whole production at every line I write. But speed can give an error reach it didn't have before. An answer still inside a draft is easier to restore. [Chorus] Wait a second. What am I acting on? Did we check the thing that matters, or just keep moving along? Wait a second. No need to make a show. One small pause before a wrong turn can change where all this goes. [Bridge] You with a tool already waiting, you with a smooth reply: check the hinge between the telling and the thing you're set to try. If the check reveals a problem, let it change the next command. [Final Chorus] Wait a second. Now the missing piece is clear. I can change the draft before it reaches someone else's ear. Then keep moving, with a reason I can show. The pause was part of doing better, not the end of getting through. [Outro] Check the turning point. Then move.
