Salim's World

  THE PATH OF RETREAT ✍️ Salim Spent the last month  Out on the east coast  Just visiting old friends  And wrestling with ghosts  Went to some old haunts But they didn't recognize my face  Guess all those good times  Are long gone without a trace  Who you were yesterday  Isn't who you are today  You think you haven't changed  But they see it a different way  When you look in a mirror  It's always you looking back  But when they lay eyes on you  Reminds them that time is moving fast  Nothing in life is free  And nothing stays the same  You always have to pay the price  To walk down memory lane  Might not see what you remember  When you get to where you're going  That old willow tree is gone  And that river is no longer flowing  Just headed back home  With my tail between my legs  Had everything I owned  Stuffed into two little bags  If I've learned ...

Have No Crown ✍️ Salim I'm sailing on the ocean  Don't think I've any mission Sailing through the mounting wave Who is there around me to save The vessel is too small To combat the turmoil I float and float In endless thought I'm always alone Only to suffer I'm born I see my destiny far from sight So, it must be tough my plight Anywhere I may drown All along I'll have no crown.
