Let me remind myself
Let me remind my self
Myself, my very own self
That makes me put
All pride in my pocket
And tells me time and again
This world is but a prickly pear
Where the child loses his primal innocence
That time alone may tell
How far man's age long struggle
And pyrrhic victory
Gained through shock tactics
Lead him through the clouds
To reach the ultimate outcome
