As We Are As we are walking We are talking As we are eating We are drinking Live I want to live And make a living Live like a king And feel free Babies Is the world going to an end? Babies are claiming to be wise In presence of their parents They prove to be cunning Babies! Babies! Babies! Do you want to see the downfall of your parents? Your parents are old hands They have crossed many rivers They are teachers of timeless truth They are ways out of wilderness They are pool of wisdom Babies listen, obey and learn Little babies change Change for the better Unavoidable What it is that you what from us? So that we can be free from your trouble You always remind us that you will come You show us signs You show you’re mighty You don't have pity You are heartless Young and old complain about you They never say anything good about you You have no respect for any man You take without return You have no friends You reject the rich You reject the poor Just because of the price they will pay You reject them You deny all You deny everybody Wonderful Flower I ask you for love But you give me hatred Oh wonderful flower You surely know that I love you Why do you hurt me? Maybe you have not discovered me Maybe I should give you time For my love is real Listen to me wonderful flower Please, listen to my voice Oh wonderful flower! My love I will always love you « return. |
