A walk to the goal

Little fresh faces in the cool dawn

Chattering as they walked
The inseparable two or the lovely trio
The naughty five, hated but still loved
All walking to their goal
A new day ahead, mysterious
Unexpected surprises yet to come
But that comfort in heart
Of having someone who cared
Who'll be there at the toughest hour
Hold hands and say don’t worry
‘Cause I’m here

As they moved on, another face
But this one alone,
Bowed down in silence
As he walked, towards the same goal
Living the same life
But yet a lot different
Deprived of that comfort
He learnt to live with himself
Only the song in mind, or the dreams to think of
Cannot be called a life
Just existence
Convincing himself, to survive this way
But the heart knows the truth
It searches each face for love
A lost and desperate child
Looking for his mother
They keep fighting,
The heart with the brain
The soul with the determination
To survive alone
