And futures have a way of falling down in mid-flight.

That even the sun burns if you get too much,
And learn that it doesn't matter how much you do care about,
Somepeople simply don't care at all.

You discover that it takes a longtime to become the person you wish to be,
And that the time is short.
You learn that it doesn't matter where you have reached,
But where you are going to.
But if you don't know where you aregoing to,
Anywhere will do.
