I met a man Who spent his life Begging For a dime and five On every avenue But I never knew Hed see the world With better eyes Hed laugh at our Earthly lies He stared and asked Boy, is that you? He knew my name He knew my shame He said Boy dont you dare to blame yourself for this, Dont you know That its all temporary, You, your face And the pain, Its all temporary, My mind is cold And vain I wonder what daddy felt When he said his last words, What colors did he see As he left this ugly world Did he hang on to a breath Did he fight for his life Did he think of the kids Did he smile for his wife? His son will never Ever learn That the light of The fire burns Upon a touch That love is too much... Hell be straying Left and right Wondering where To spend the night His stranger heart Is torn apart But its all temporary You, your face And the pain Its all temporary My mind is cold And vain. I looked art in the eyes I embraced her, read her, played her strings... The lunatic, the mad, the insane... I am. I want the whole universe to know that The story begins...
