There was a time in our past
When we were told nothing will last
Forever remains nothing we know
You might throw your memories below
The surface you stay for home
The temple you sometimes call dome
Your palace far behind the clouds
You won’t ever be comfortable in crowds
Far behind the midnight sun
You wish to do nothing but run
From your memories and past
Because sometimes certain things do last
The struggles of every human’s early days
Imprinted deeply it always pays
In later life and without fear
We have to face this demon , dear .
