Sweet But Bitter

Sweet but bitter 
Slow and steady 
Cool down 
My friend 
Take it easy my sister
Where are you rushing to 
Easy slowly 
What is hot 
Will always get cold
Cos as life is 
Sweet but bitter

Sweet but bitter
Take it easy 
You will injure yourself
Why go too hard
Why overload the heart 
You can't be faster than 
Your shadow
how much can 
You run 
How long can you Go
Cos if you don't take
Your time you will 
End so quick 
Still life continues 
Only for we the living
You see life is 
Sweet but bitter

Sweet but bitter
Imagination is real
Only take reality 
To prove it time 
So be mindful of thought
Yet that don't change 
The fact that we are living
In a universal world 
Now is so sad so many great 
Has only illusion to  teach us 
Cos they are so 
Sweet but bitter
