Goodbye Old Life
Share

Born with everything but have literally nothing.

That life is no longer for me.

Jewels, fur, servants for everything.

That life is no longer for me.

Forgive me mother, forgive me father,

That life is no longer for me.

No love or laughter and happiness.

That life is no longer for me.

Goodbye old life and hello new world.

It's good to feel alive.

A life filled with real understanding of

love, laughter and happiness.

Now this is the life for me.
