Just A Matter of Time
-just a matter of time...
-high wishes soon goes to bed
-great dreams are soon born or aborted
-a long journey and a million miles
-needs only a step to to roll off
just a matter of time..
-the pregnant woman
-gives birth from the long pains of labour
-a great nation that refuses to embrace peace
-takes the back seat among its peers
-the long night will embrace a daytime
I say it is a matter of time..
-all we need is to embrace the truth
-that in a matter of time..
-all may be done
-all may be well
-but all will surely end!
