This Child

This child will grow to be a man
This child will do the best he can.

This child is afraid to be alone
This child is afraid to turn to stone.

This child with a broken heart
This child with hope in his heart.

This child is on a journey still unknown
This child is trying to find his way home.

This child, he exists without a proof
This child is searching for the truth.

This child is a spiritual being
This child for certain is dying.

This child yearns to be free from misery
This child, his life is no mystery but empty.

This child, enlightenment seems so far
This child will shine alone like a star.
