Don't Hang Your Head So Low

Don't hang your head so low 
don't ask the reason for this simple life I've chosen 
for the more you ask of me 
I fear the less you'll understand

The time that's passed 
was no waste 
you must learn 
to make no haste 

learn to breathe 
learn to smile
with the burdens 
that you bear 

and don't forget 
or try to hide 
from the memories 
that you have 

Don't look away as if in guilt 
to be musing in the silence you've set free
the more you try to tell
I fear the less you'll understand

The time that's passed 
was no waste 
you must learn 
to make no haste 

learn to breathe 
learn to smile
at the sorrows
that we all feel

and don't forget 
or try to hide 
from the values
that you have
