It came as sudden as lightning,
The Quietus of her wellspring.
Friends and acquaintances kept their promises spayed.
Leaving her alone to contend with life.
The Quietus of her wellspring.
Friends and acquaintances kept their promises spayed.
Leaving her alone to contend with life.
Now homeless and unchaperoned,
She's left to wander through the denseness of life.
The coolness of the night which brings rest to tired souls,
Only reminds her of her defenselessness.
And the crow of the cock which heralds the ingress of a new dawn,
Instils fear in her heart
For she knows not what the day holds.
She's left to wander through the denseness of life.
The coolness of the night which brings rest to tired souls,
Only reminds her of her defenselessness.
And the crow of the cock which heralds the ingress of a new dawn,
Instils fear in her heart
For she knows not what the day holds.
No matter how she tries to make ends meet,
They keep getting shorter.
She grubs for a life of her own,
The more she pushes, the more life pushes back.
Nowhere else to turn
She is on an island of hopelessness
Surrounded by a sea of struggle.
They keep getting shorter.
She grubs for a life of her own,
The more she pushes, the more life pushes back.
Nowhere else to turn
She is on an island of hopelessness
Surrounded by a sea of struggle.
Not willing to remain on the island,
She gets into her little boat; her dream.
As she stirs on with her little paddle; her hope.
These words keep her afloat :
That behind every thick cloud, there is always a silver linen and
Beauty is yet ahead.
She gets into her little boat; her dream.
As she stirs on with her little paddle; her hope.
These words keep her afloat :
That behind every thick cloud, there is always a silver linen and
Beauty is yet ahead.
