you have no place to hide


The shape of you
The young to the old
The time will take its stroke
The years may tell of tales

Many have left
Delivering the good and the bad
Some of good deeds; some of misdeeds
Some spend time in Bamboo River

They listen to the ring
Of the iron bars singing
They receive bar of soap
Others may want to steal

The shape of you
One day out of the cage
The eyes may have lost its shine
The time may have gone quietly

Once you had it all
The power to command
The wealth to throw around
Got it through illegal channels

Now you look around
The entourage all gone
The sins you still have to pay
Once you face the Maker

The shape of you
The sadness in your eyes
The shame strike you down
You have no place to hide
