The Song of a Madman

The song of a madman

how shall I sing
when I do not know what the day will bring
tossed to and fro
which way will I go
who would have thought
who would have dreamed
that everything that happened before
hadn't happened as it seemed
and to know or not know
pains my soul
but in the storm I will dance
each day brings a second chance
to prove the doctor's prognosis wrong
so I have to sing my song:
the song of a madman
