Dying Hopes Undying Faith

Once I was young, a child of my age
no worries, no fear, of future or of passing days
but now I'm old and out of my shell
There's so much to change (around me)
'Cause it all feels like Hell!

Look! there he goes clawing his way up the ladder!
And Hey! what a mess!
Everyone's in a hurry to please each other.
I feel so alone in this race,
feel so alone, left out.
It's all a game of mind, no doubt!

There's so much to learn,
to live in this world today,
Huh! the 'Art of living', They say!
Why, I only want to live 'this' life,
Just like a child, I did years back.

Now Lord I ask you,
to give me a faith,
That's simple,
just like a babe.

Bless you
