Untitled: From When I Was Down Yesterday

Outback,a 
new 
birth
I 
hear 
songs 
to 
celebrate.
Another 
soul
Blessed 
with 
the 
gift 
of 
life
A 
new 
pair 
of 
eyes
To 
marvel 
at 
the 
world's 
wonders.
Only 
the 
wise 
can 
tell
That 
every 
birth
Is 
just 
the 
cradle 
of 
a 
death
So 
it 
is 
yet 
another  
clock
Ticking 
down 
in 
countdown.
Yes,the 
world 
is 
as 
vast 
as 
the 
seas
And 
so 
are 
its 
promises
But 
time 
is 
just 
the 
distance
From 
your 
neck 
to 
your 
shoulder.
So 
friend,
You'll 
live 
and 
leave 
in 
haste
Haunted 
by 
the 
end 
you 
can 
not 
see
Allowed 
to 
dream 
but 
not 
to 
live
To 
live 
but 
not 
to 
dream
