Out of
ignorant, Sammy left home in search of greener pasture
Took all his
belongings but a father's love
On the
street the rain fell on his dreams
As he walk
on marbles in a silver shoe
He saw the
sun rest on his shoulder
The stream
flowing by daylight
Life so
rewarding, flowers flourishing
The world
resting under his feet
He forgot
home and found the life he seek in his dream
Living a
callous but lonely life at it peak
Lost
everything including the joy he thought reside
Life flashes
so fast between his eyes, as he lost track of time
Life became
darker and the night longer
Tomorrow
never came, difficult it was to survive the night
Became a
destitute, afraid of going home he turned his back on
All the
luxuries dispossessed but a piece of tattered dress
A pair of
shoe long out of shape and a shack by the alley
Was the
closest thing he got close to a home
Lost in
ecstasy of shame and a denuded life
For he threw
away all he had to ungratefulness and pride
One night he
looked up the sky and found a star
It was so
bright it lighted the sky as he stare and started to cry
A soft voice
whisper to his depressed and wandering heart
All is not
lost son, you've got a father's love
waiting at back home
