Ten, nine, eight
Child, don't grow up yet and wait
Enjoy the little things
Soar high with your wings
Seven, six, five
Teen, where did you arrive?
Steps became heavy and slow
Every road you took dimmed your glow
Four, three, two
Adult, what happened to you?
Slave of money, prisoner of love
What do you really have?
Then down to one
Death finally reached your hand
Did you live or did you just exist?
Will your memories be missed?
Life is fleeting, death is forever
So live without regrets, love yourself better
End up where you want and need to be
Until life finally sets you free.
