\n
<\/span><\/div>\n
\nLost in the city,<\/span><\/div>\n
\nHomeless, hungry and tired.<\/span><\/div>\n
\nNowhere to go,<\/span><\/div>\n
\nLonely, jobless and broke.<\/span><\/div>\n
\nWhat can I do?<\/span><\/div>\n
\nWhere can I go?<\/span><\/div>\n
\nEverywhere I turn, my hand melts the snow.<\/span><\/div>\n
\n
<\/span><\/div>\n
\nLost in the city<\/span><\/div>\n
\nNo purpose that I can find.<\/span><\/div>\n
\nNowhere to go,<\/span><\/div>\n
\nNo goal I can battle towards.<\/span><\/div>\n
\nWhat do I do?<\/span><\/div>\n
\nWhere do I go?<\/span><\/div>\n
\nEvery flower I water refuses to grow.<\/span><\/div>\n
\n
<\/span><\/div>\n
\nEvery man needs a purpose for which he can live.<\/span><\/i><\/div>\n
\nHe needs a direction to which his all he can give.<\/span><\/i><\/div>\n
\nToss your heart to a distant plain<\/span><\/i><\/div>\n
\nAnd battle all out towards it.<\/span><\/i><\/div>\n
\nStart seeking the shoe which best fits your foot.<\/span><\/i><\/div>\n
\n
<\/span><\/div>\n
\nDon\u2019t be lost in the city,<\/span><\/div>\n
\nNo purpose that you can find.<\/span><\/div>\n
\nNowhere to go,<\/span><\/div>\n
\nNo goal you can battle towards.<\/span><\/div>\n
\nWhat can you do?<\/span><\/div>\n
\nWhere can you go?<\/span><\/div>\n
\nWhen every flower you water refuses to grow.<\/span><\/div>\n
\n
<\/span><\/div>\n
\nDon\u2019t envy another man\u2019s position,<\/span><\/i><\/div>\n
\nStart establishing yourself,<\/span><\/i><\/div>\n
\nCos how can you know what wealth you possess<\/span><\/i><\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\nWhen you\u2019re defeated by another\u2019s success.<\/span><\/i>
\n
<\/span>
\n….<\/span>
