Bed Time Tales
TITLE: BED TIME TALES (SOME LIES THE OLD PEOPLE TOLD US).
Bed time stories,bed time stories
When I think of your memories,
They were stories of glory
Drying away tears of misery from the sleepy eyes
What a tale we were told.
O my dear talking tortoise,
Falling from the sky with the beautiful cracks,
O glorious little ant,
The giant elephant conqueror
The hunter,lion and snake,
The friends of treachery tales.
I know of a Mighty warrior
Wat a hero he was
Winning every battle riding on a horse
The great warrior Gandoki,
The proginator of the child man Garba.
The hills of Jack and Jim
We heard leaning on mother's kneels
A lie a lie they told us
The future leaders thing
We all bought the key
We were told it opens the future door
Young minded souls
They lied to us in roles
From our parents to teachers
They each took a mastery turn
Killing our hearts like Brutus did Ceaser
With great care we listened,as we received the key
Education the key was called
Yet the lock still stands today,unbreakable not even by Hudini himself.
