[00:22.23]My friend I know you've suffered
[00:27.12]Although you are still young
[00:34.46]Why was it you who'd not take help
[00:40.19]From anyone
[00:51.58]Oh it's true, it's very true, he said
[00:56.97]Some hard times I have known
[01:02.52]But I have always overcome them
[01:09.8]On my own
[01:49.54]Oh the pearls that you hold in your hand
[01:56.65]They are beautiful to see
[02:01.21]But you show them not to anyone
[02:07.13]Not even me
[02:18.23]For you are like the others, he said
[02:22.82]l never can be sure
[02:27.99]That you wish just to see the pearls
[02:34.83]And nothing more
[03:13.45]Why can you not see reason?
[03:19.65]Our lives they are not long
[03:24.49]Why can you take no time
[03:29.38]To tell us all we're wrong?
[03:42.15]My tune it does not change, he said
[03:48.13]And neither does your song
[03:52.16]And words I use them rarely
[03:59.84]When I'm all alone
