Words of Wisdom
Don't be my child, don't step on broken glasses
Don't be fooled by all of those sweet promises
I've been through a lot of regrets
Memories that I love to bury and simply forget
Treasure my child, my words of wisdom
I have a lot of story to tell, when I enter the kings kingdom
Wounded by those pitiless pawns, knights and bishops
Terrorized by rook and the queen killed all of my hopes
Listen well, don't act so stupid my innocent child
The world is full of jungle and really so wild
I was bitten by spiders, lions and snakes
To recall what i've been through still make my body shakes
My child, look at all my deep scars
Think thrice always, don't fully rush to reach the stars
Or else you'll wished upon it, to bring you back to where you start
Coz you have lead your life to a maze and welcome the dark
My dear sage, all your words are of true wisdom
But let me take my own course of freedom
I may feel the deepest sorrow like hell
But at the end like you, I will have a great story to tell
