All of my life


Ruin of youth head cannot see it
Distraction of dream
reason cannot feel it
Life in great mess no one can escape it
Dream today hope tomorrow,
but for whom?
None of us will come at high side
When he was alone
in the mountain side;
He climbed the tree for us
And raised our weary soul
guarded with sword;
Be these words be heard
tonight in the court
Addressed to all crying and dying;
Oh when can we understand!
Till the youth will all pass away?
And we all lost the long chance
