A Simple Mathematics

Mathematics can be brainstorming and headcracking
It can be extremely complex
When you're counting the last number
A mistake will spoil the whole thing
When you're counting the last coin
When you're counting the last days
When you're counting the expectations you haven't fulfilled 
When you're counting the number of mistakes you've made
When you're counting the number of friends that have gone
When you're counting the number of prayers you've murmured
Oh, oh,life is in tension with numbers
too
