Tell me how things work,
Show me how to adapt,
To a world I don’t understand.
Explain to me how I’m to live,
In this life.
The joy of this world is fleeting,
While time itself is fleeing.
We only have but one life to live.
Dust but we are, and dust shall we be,
When we die.
So let this mortal body of mine
Make the most of its borrowed time.
