Only Those Who Lived and Can Die
Only those who lived and can die
Only those who fought real wars
Know the value of real peace
Only those who loved knows tears
I have no expectations again
That just because there's little rain
The land will fruit enough for joy
I measure my days now with a spoon
That makes me treasure star and moon
And the smile that lingers like a rose
And hour before it fades. Let me close
Believing my end is better for I
Did not disappoint my maker in the sky.
Only those who trust shall escape
That the fire that cleanses this landscape.
