TAE PASSING THRoNo

There is a story In each Of the faces
You see In the passing throng.
But it's only the same old story
The struggle Of right with wrong:
The battle Of hate and duty;
The strife between love and fear:
It's only the same old story.
With a chapter for every year.
The hope that IL turning to sadness
The courage beset by pains
The moment Of transient giadncss
That shines like the sun through
rain
The tale may be told but simply,
For II isn't 30 much 10 tell,
It's only the same old story
That this old world knows so well,
