I won’t wake
A wealthy man someday
Cause the sun, don’t follow me
I won’t wake,
Without a song to sing
Nothing to some
Everything to me
In my worst
I’ll do my best
To make it seem
Like I am happy
Cuz I’ve grown numb
Dry as my tear ducts
I’ve grown dumb
and empty
But don’t give up on me
Give up on me
Give up on me
Quench your thirst for eternal wisdom

It’s a lovely song and the lyrics are amazing,thank you Robert.
Dear Ranu,
Thank you for your visit and appreciation of the song/lyrics.
All good wishes,
robert
Such a sad song and video. What loneliness there is in this life. And you know what, there is probably a person so suitable for this man who feels the same way, but they never meet 😦
I am grateful for what I have, may I always be thankful….Ameen
Dear Sonya,
Thank you for your visit and for your poignant, reflective comments.
It is sad. I found the song inspiring, though in a sad way, in how it brought (our) attention to this man, and others like him. By “inspiring,” I suppose I’m thinking in terms of how the song brings us to him, and brings more alive our awareness of each other.
I don’t want to forget those like him who live with loneliness, sadness, and suffering.
All good wishes,
robert
Yes Robert, we must be aware of and not forget those who live with loneliness and sufferings. I saw your video soon after I watched Ranu’s about the last boat…and I guess I was filled with much sadness.
Dear Sonya,
Thank you very much for sharing this.
All good wishes,
robert
