The Folly of the Young

(Praveen Vava)

This song tries to capture the ruthless nature of time, and how the young never heed and use the wisdom earned by posterity, finally coming to see that what they're done is just come around full circle.

Bringing the waves crashing on the rocks 
              The changing phase, the changing tide 
Breaking its stubbornness gently mocks 
              As it unearths what eons have tried to hide. 
Time changes all 
              But never come full circle 
No matter how high you build the wall 
              Time ravages all, there are no miracles 
  
The wisdom of the old 
              Worth its weight in gold 
Useless is it found 
              For to no one is it bound, 
heeds no one to it, 
              No matter how loudly its sung 
The confidence, the arrogance, the pride 
              Oh the folly of the young. 
  
Same problems camouflaged
