The Lesson

A Lesson thought, a lesson learnt
I burnt my fingers, I chased the sun
I was too much into me, myself, I
I was brought down to earth from the sky

I had made the hurricane wind my friend
I was in tearing hurry even before the race began
I never stopped to look at life; I always looked down upon other’s plight
Now I know what I lost in my pursuit of the gain
A lesson thought, a lesson learnt
As I always tried to reach the sun

The precious moments that I lost
The little battles that I always fought
The others gave in not for defeat but for love of me
In my arrogance I never allowed me to see
Today I try and reach those times
Can’t get them back for no penny or dime
A lesson thought, a lesson learnt
As I always tried to reach the sun
