Shadows

Hear the laughter
See the smiles

Happy children
Running wild

Not a burden
In their mind

Not a tear drop
Will you find

Free is their life
Til they grow old

When shadows come
And fill their souls.

Do what is right
Be a success

And try real hard
To do your best

Never take time
Just to relax

Always working
To pay the Tax

Want to escapse
Just want to be leave

Like the days ago
When they ran free
