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
