SAGES AND FOOLS

HE CAME AT A TIME

 

WHEN DARKNESS OF NIGHT

 

HUNG ON THE DAY

 

NO SUN IT WAS GONE

 

THE PEOPLE

 

ALL TURNED TO HIM

 

WONDERING FOR HOW LONG

 

WITH A FARAWAY LOOK

 

IN HIS EYES

 

HE TOUCHES HIS BEARD

 

 AND SIGHS 

 

I KNOW THIS AND THAT

 

BUT I CAN'T TURN

 

THE WILL OF HIS HAND

 

THY WILL BE DONE

 

WHEN ITS RUN ITS COURSE

 

I'M NO HERO HERE

 

I DON'T EVEN OWN A HORSE

 

 

I WON'T STAY FOR LONG

 

YOU WON'T KNOW IT

 

UNTIL I'M GONE

 

YOU MIGHT MISS ME

 

BECAUSE I NEVER OVERSTAY 

 

I'M MOVING ON EACH DAY

 

SWEET DREAMS TO ALL

 

IT WON'T BE LONG

 

THE SUN WILL FALL AGAIN

 

SOFT AND WARM

 

NO HARM SHALL BEFALL YOU

 

UNTIL ITS DONE

 

 

IN A WORLD OF

 

SAGES AND FOOLS

 

SUBJECT TO LAWS AND RULES

 

THE SPOILS GO TO THE STRONG

 

EVERYBODY ELSE IS

 

JUST HANGING ON

 

FOR  COME WHAT MAY

 

DID I HEAR THEM SAY

 

WHY DON'T YOU STOP

 

I DON'T NEED TO

 

FIGHT MY WAY TO THE TOP

 

I'M ALREADY THERE

 

AT ANY GIVEN TIME

 

ALL I HAVE TO DO IS CLIMB

 

THE NEAREST MOUNTAIN

 

 

WAKE UP BREATHE

 

NOW ITS TIME TO BELIEVE

 

IN YOURSELF

 

KNOW THE HERO'S YOU

 

NOTHING THAT CAN'T BE DONE

 

NOTHING YOU CAN'T DO
