You like fire; racing flame
All the glory; all the fame,
Everybody knows your name
Because you like fire; racing flame.
Watch the clouds canter by
Looking down, from up on high,
In their homes; in the sky
They see you stare—and sigh.
Careful you don’t fall in silky snare
Or glance into that evil glare,
Careful; you should be aware
Those nasty spiders—everywhere.
Woe is you; lo and behold
Your greatest fear of growing old,
But a sealed fate, you have been told
You can never escape—growing old.
Too perceptive; always been that way
You cannot easily ignore the sway,
To notice things each and every day
Too perceptive; always been that way.
You see humanity; it’s all too clear
You are afraid; indeed you have fear,
Our collision with reality is all too near
When no one lends common sense an ear.
Your fears, nature shall tend
Your whims, bliss will send,
To you my strength I lend
Resolve yourself, ‘till the end.
Don’t be afraid any longer
Each day your fight is stronger—
All inner doubts begone
For it is time; the race is on.
