Mr. Africa Poetry Lounge!
when gone is the glory
When gone is the glory
When gone is the fame
When gone is the name
And you're left with yourself
You look in the mirror
To search your face
To remember who you are
Who you ever were
When gone is the glory
When gone is the shine
Is gone the whole
Of your fortune and pride?
You look all around
In search of a friend
That no longer stands
Until the "bitter end"
When gone is the glory
When gone is the sun
When gone is the game
Then what have you won?
Heartache and pain
Of what could have been
Only you know the truth
Of what lies within
When gone is the praise
When gone is the fun
Is gone the worth
Of what you have become?
When I'm left alone
At the end of this story
How does it feel
When gone is the glory
