Changing World

Time is fleeting, it is moving fast 

we are getting older, cos youth does not last 

Love is lost to those retreating 

Just does not seem worth keeping. 

 

We cannot slow down, running the race 

Or we get stuck, at a slow-moving pace 

life is not as sunny, as it used to be 

and we live in a world that is really not free. 

 

We forget how to give when it is not for ourselves, 

putting everything on hold, problems on a shelf 

does not matter what changes, if we never do 

You do not have to agree, but you know that it's true.
