Your Time To Shine In Darkness

Look to yourself for entertainment
Look to yourself for fun
Nowadays you cannot rely on anyone

Gone are the days
When we struggle
For our day-to-day grain

Gone are the days
When we have no
Medicines to heal our pain

To stupid questions
We were forced to reply

To lousy relatives
We were forced to smile

To clueless authority
We were forced to
Trick and beguile

All of this
Just to survive

All of this
Just to survive

Now we are blessed with
Modern amenities
That means we can be truthful
To our enemies
And tell them they are
Not worth pennies

But on the flip side
No one needs us
No longer is anyone
Interested in relations
That are serious

That is fine
Use your alone time to shine

With blessings comes burdens
Such as these
On one hand you are happy
To be away from fake people
On the other hand you
Pray to have people
Who never leave

Ahhh, such a quandary

Stick to your sewing
Stick to your flute
In your private time
You will learn to enjoy
And it will be a hoot!
