Little Man

Time riding fate across the sky
Destiny and your past are flashing by
The crystal flame of the sea
strips you clear
The blaze of your hope is drawing near

Little Man, little man
Where's your life?

Little Man, little man
No end to your strife
The clouds of your mind form a shell
Your dreams form the center of your cell
Your words they are young,
your thoughts are old
The stories of your life have all been told

Little Man, little man
Where's your place?
Little Man, little man
Blankness is your face

You see the world through half-closed eyes
The words that you hear are mostly lies
You look around
for help to come
Your time is here; your life is done

Little Man , little man
When you're gone
Another little man will be born
