Fallen Hero
Fallen hero
The old man said to me
Trust but be sensitive
So many has fallen despite
Their good intention
Alot has been gun down
For fighting for their right
So my son
Be careful of what you wish for
Tell me what you want
Tell me what you need
Oh my son
Be careful for what
You wish for
Cos the truth
can make you wanted
In this wild world
Fallen hero
The old is wise
while sitting down
He can see to say
What the young mind
Can't explore at their prime age
Cos he speaks from knowledge
And mind full of experiences
A truthful old man is a big blessings
To his community
He is like a living library
So respect the old men around you
Visit them
Talk with them
Ask them questions
If you seek wisdom
Cos the best words
I remember the old man told me was
Tell me what you want
Tell me what you need
Oh my son
Be careful for what
You wish for
Cos the truth
can make you wanted
In this wild world
