| | + | '''I Lost My Life For Nothing''' |
| | + | |
| | + | I left my country <br /> |
| | + | I came, in a strange land <br /> |
| | + | The strange city <br /> |
| | + | The strange ways <br /> |
| | + | The stranger people <br /> |
| | + | The strange language <br /> |
| | + | Even the strange surroundings <br /> |
| | + | I felt alone <br /> |
| | + | I missed my beloved ones <br /> |
| | + | However, <br /> |
| | + | I wanted to gain my career <br /> |
| | + | I desired to learn and know <br /> |
| | + | The wonder of the world <br /> |
| | + | For that <br /> |
| | + | I faced and bore <br /> |
| | + | And wore the painful time <br /> |
| | + | I struggled and struggled <br /> |
| | + | Even though, <br /> |
| | + | Time became, enemy of life <br /> |
| | + | I stood firm, to win at every cost <br /> |
| | + | I sold my heart, mind, and soul <br /> |
| | + | In the hands of an opportunist, <br /> |
| | + | And cunning and liar one <br /> |
| | + | Who used me, years and years <br /> |
| | + | I lost, my dreams, career, <br /> |
| | + | And life for nothing, but pain, <br /> |
| | + | Sorrow, sorry and tears <br /> |
| | + | That one threw me out <br /> |
| | + | After entirely breaking me <br /> |
| | + | I was once again alone <br /> |
| | + | Holding the passport, <br /> |
| | + | With my broken heart, dream <br /> |
| | + | Career and even life <br /> |
| | + | I have not the control, on my tears <br /> |
| | + | I cannot turn the time that I lost <br /> |
| | + | I feel still a stranger <br /> |
| | + | I miss you, oh my motherland. |
