There was a time I was fine My mood would agree By saying "Hey, you're fine" I felt fine And I had better days though Appreciating the greater things Passed through ages Studied and taught by sages Filling my lifelines They keep my emotions at bay They ask for more shade The palm trees Sway to-an-fro Now a pearl palliated by the oyster in the sea With a stagnant show A show of hands Told me I can't go further Any longer Because my days were through And my time come When I had to go I had to move
