I've had just enough time to... look at things from both sides now.
Taken in the same small street in Jakarta.
"Look at the man. How lazy. Papa told me many men are like that.
Never do well because no put in effort. Sleeping all the time. Not working.
Lazy. Always poor."
"Oh, car horn. Calling. Must go. When I grow up. Papa said
don’t be like that."
(please read part I)
Tears and fears and feeling proud to say "i love
you" right out loud,
Dreams and schemes and circus crowds, i've looked at life that way.
But now old friends are acting strange,
they shake their heads, they say I've changed.
Something's lost but something's gained in living every day.
I've looked at life from both sides now,
Dreams and schemes and circus crowds, i've looked at life that way.
But now old friends are acting strange,
they shake their heads, they say I've changed.
Something's lost but something's gained in living every day.
I've looked at life from both sides now,
From win and lose, and still somehow
It's life's illusions i recall.
I really don't know life at all.
Joni Mitchell - Both Sides Now
