The Set Of the Sun
The dream of a boy , and a girl in her dreams,
Grow up to learn that thing arn't as they seem.
Yet they give it their best, and keep hope deep inside,
Along with some courage and outbursting pride.
They try and they try, and each time they fall
They pick themselves up and build a new wall.
When they do reach the top, and they think they have won,
They look towards the west at the setting sun.
They ask themselves then,"What did it all mean?"
"Just a climb to the top to see this fine scene?"
In short they remember the times long ago,
When there wern't any worries, and living was slow.
As happy young children, in evenings they'd run
To the hilltop to watch the set of the sun.
