there is a secret

there is a secret

the dumb and lost must share

being born gives you no right

to being here

you must fight for that right

until the very end

no one can help you

not even a friend

if you cannot live

there must be a reason why

try the advice of one who loves you

before you die

you can continue on your way

or take a detour

that is what forks in the road

are divided for

sometimes you are flying high

then are gone in a flash

do not wallow in the sluggish mud

to never make a splash

whether you find happiness or not
my secret is true

around every bend

it is only and always up to you

when the night is lonely

and there is nothing to be said

you must arise

find a different bed

when work is done

with nothing you can show

you must fight for your rights

or find a new place to go

if by fate a fatal illness

tries to take your time

there are still other options

to occupy your mind

if you have been slighted

by a wrong unrighted 

take no revenge

but walk the road as i did

do not be denied

if justice makes you mighty

when you have listened

to your heart and friend tidy

change your longitude and latitude

do not prolong a failure

do not carry a defeated attitude

get out of the sour sea, sailor

always give God your gratitude

and live for making love

that is how it happens

with the grace from the Lord up above
