Deep thoughts and shallow fears
Begin with frowns and end in tears
Crushed hopes and shattered dreams
Destroy our faith in destinies
Deep thoughts and shallow needs
Souls that ache and hearts that bleed
Failed flight and poisoned past
Break promises meant to last
Deep thoughts and shallow rhymes
Recall the joy of magic times
Freedom’s gain is truth’s cost
But what is found if love is lost?
