I've had just enough time to... see a new day begins
Taken one early morning from my hotel in Jakarta
The same morning sun shines equally
On the gleaming tower of steel
The thatched roof in the slum
And the homeless in the street
And they all wake, look up and say
“What a glorious morning!”
Then they look down and think
“There is money to be made”
“There is work to be done”
“There is Life to be lived”
And the old man with his best years behind him thinks
“Will I find happiness today?”
And the young children going to school
Wave to their parents and rush in
And the morning sun climbs higher into the sky.
