Thank you, all the same

Experience is the best teacher, they say
Temporary are life struggles, I hear
The scars would heal and all things new, I know

There’ll be light at dawn and the cock would crow
There’ll be scars to wear and beauty to tear
It has to be dark, else there is no day

Narrow is the path but there’s still a way
Hope is the armour you see all man wear
Another year is here, we’re yet to grow

Even the rivers needs a source to flow
But no one tells you that, they leave you bare
They know they’ve failed, then they lead you astray

The day might be long, but the bat would fly
Hazy now, but there’ll be a route to ply
