Walk!ng the downtown
A clown with a crown
These spoofed crowd
Heart's cold and souls sold
Can't distinguish a diamond among gold
With riches everything they've bought
Still originality they can't afford
Don't have any clue
How's like to be in a poet's shoes
To ink and paper his entire life glued
The top gets higher and higher
The more that he climb
Bruised face hiding behind the paint
He's becoming faint and faint
Screaming on top of his lungs
Watching his soul that burns
Tired of being waiting for his turn
But the day that never come
Still holding on the courage
Picking up the pieces
Of his shattered dream
Blowing with the wind
Flowing with the stream...
