The mountains creaked in the valley.
Feeling old, sighing!

One person at a time.
Listen to your inner voice.
Let it be your guide.
To do what is right.
Don’t ever let yourself down.

Lying on the charpoy bed
With hands behind his head
He sang songs looking up at the night sky
Watching the twinkling dance of the stars.

There’s no point kicking someone into a hole.
