歌词
My friend I know you've suffered
Although you are still young
Why was it you who'd not take help
From anyone
Oh it's true, it's very true, he said
Some hard times I have known
But I have always overcome them
On my own
Oh the pearls that you hold in your hand
They are beautiful to see
But you show them not to anyone
Not even me
For you are like the others, he said
l never can be sure
That you wish just to see the pearls
And nothing more
Why can you not see reason?
Our lives they are not long
Why can you take no time
To tell us all we're wrong?
My tune it does not change, he said
And neither does your song
And words I use them rarely
When I'm all alone
