HELP ME DECIDE…

HELP ME DECIDE…

Danger here, danger there,
I’m standing alone in the centre,
On a fast melting slab of ice,
And today, a stormy glacier is here in front of my eyes…

Help me escape from this,
Sharp nineteen is what my present age is,
But this is my corridor from childhood to man,
Which will decide, in the future where I’ll stand…

You definitely know it well my dear Mona,
That presently I’m in a difficult dilemma,
Just one wrong step in this situation
Will turn my characters upside-down…
Will freeze my heart and turn it into a stone…
And I’ll ne’er be a good man any long…

So do hold my hand and take me on,
From this dreadful corridor to the next world known,
I wanna be a good young man,
And I wanna carry on with my good characters within…

But all’s possible if with me you’ll stand…;
And if you stand, I’ll escape from this icy world,
And land in a virgin green valley –
Full of birds, full of love, full of trees;
Underneath them there shall no one be –
But just you and me…
