Borrowed Arms

Young one, with more ahead than behind,

Tell me, what are you setting out to find?

I heard you in the night

As you were putting yourself to bed,

And you said:

These borrowed arms will fend for me.

These borrowed eyes will let me see.

These borrowed legs will set me free,

But this borrowed mind won`t let me be.

Old one, with more behind than ahead,

Tell me, have we all been misled?

I heard you in the night

As you were putting yourself to bed,

And you said:

These borrowed arms won`t fend for me.

These borrowed eyes won`t let me see.

These borrowed legs won`t let me be.

But this borrowed heart will set me free.
