The souls, the poor human souls
Ever now became cheaper and meaningless
The lives God had granted from nothingness as His tokens of love
A life that's so pure, precious and grand
So many families prayed and waited for so long
*
Carefully He blowed and grew safely in our mothers' wombs
But now became oh so cheap
People took each others' lives just for fun or a mere sum of money
Or simply chose to end their own lives without thinking
Just because their eyes had been covered with blindness and pain
*
Why we failed to cherish human lives?
Why we tried to play with our so limited times?
Why don't we ever try to see further into the future
How much teardrops and mournings our loved ones has to live by, day by day?
*
Please start again today to learn
How important a life is, no matter how long or short
We still have new hopes as long as there are times
