Why stretch yourself so far in the past and seek among the lost years
No wings are eager to fly back into the mysterious realms of time
Although its shades do not diminish easily, one can try expunging them slowly
One has to decide on planting the saplings away from the remaining darkness
For them to strengthen their roots and branch with freedom and hope
Stultifying shades take away today’s vitality into some mysterious period
Youthful vigour has to look ahead, keeping their eyes on the roads ahead
Don’t waste too much time contemplating about changing the past
Sorry nights and exhausted daytime won’t allow the journey to proceed
Say goodbye to the restless spirits and pray for sound sleep with sweet dreams
