The Faint Horizon |
In youth we think too little |
In age we think too much |
In youth, of what’s to come |
In age of what we’ve lost |
So never live today |
And that’s the curse of our lives |
We wish our lives away |
With time, the faint horizon |
Comes clearer by the day |
For some, it’s far too soon |
Whilst others cannot wait |
And all men need distraction |
And some men need their gods |
For without these diversions |
Then everything is lost |
In life we carve the land up That is not ours to carve |
We cannot take it with us But cut the greater half |
And herein lies the problem |
And herein lies the blame |
You enter life with nothing |
You leave it with the same |
