Shadows
Hear the laughter
See the smiles
Happy children
Running wild
Not a burden
In their mind
Not a tear drop
Will you find
Free is their life
Til they grow old
When shadows come
And fill their souls.
Do what is right
Be a success
And try real hard
To do your best
Never take time
Just to relax
Always working
To pay the Tax
Want to escapse
Just want to be leave
Like the days ago
When they ran free
