Ill-chosen lyrics, a well-loved tune?
Child of the Sun, child of the Moon?
Where once reigned daylight
Now shadow led night.
Where once there was vision
Eyes blind without sight.
Where now is felt weakness
Not characterised might;
Once stood strength,
Ready to fight.
The fight is now gone:
A forgotten song:
Words without voices,
Decisions less choices.
This way or that way?
I know not which;
The path rightly chosen
Is wealth beyond rich.
To those who seek,
To them shall find;
The way is forward
Not that behind.
