Tired of Life

Click here to listen to the song

Then you’re about to leave the city,
But tell me, will you keep some ties ?
Some distant relationships to get on
Through the streams of your life ?



"No way”, you say “I’m tired of life…
my only wish is to leave it all behind.”
But think of those who worried while you were down,
Aren’t we close enough to your mind ?

So you’re about to leave the country,
But tell me, will you keep some ties ?
Some distant relationships, they’ll help you
They’ll keep you alive!

“No way”, you say “I’m tired of life…
my only wish is to leave everything undone and bright.”
But think of those who hold you in their hearts,
Aren’t we often enough at your side?
