run along little strawberry man,
chase your dream so vivved without delay
though no one seem to quite understand,
the price you'd be willing to pay

---

the work that you lay before them,
so hard it causes frustration.
that on the alter you sacrifice
your happiness without any consideration

---

you tell yourself joy is only meant
for simple and ordinary folk
to strive for it means to see your hopes
of glory just go up in smoke.

---

a simple view my dear strawberry man,
that suffering is a measure for success
so proud you can see the hard truth,
finally free from the lies clutches

---

so you stand by yourself,
hoping beliefs can keep you warm.
that truth is a universal,
final and undisputed light deep inside the swarm

---

yet they hold it against you,
loved ones with personal views so askew.
they talk, they yell, but then they leave,
even your precious few

---

you thank yourself for your perseverance,
you routed out the ignorance
you reward yourself with confidence,
throws aside your innocence

---

in the end nothing stands before your truth,
you proudly hold the philosopher's stone.
only your truth persist, no one stands against
nor beside you, a single golden throne

---

and there you sit, dear strawberry man,
all righteous, all knowing, all alone.
