I have a silent companion, of whom I realized late, br It’s my fate, its my fate, let me here state. br He would rather have things done his way br But I relentlessly try to bring him under my sway. br He revolts; he disobeys and in a jiffy walks away br All I can do is to watch him in deep dismay. br I know, that the road he takes is the one I too have to follow br That is the harsh reality which I am forced to swallow. br O dear, do you want to know the name of this friend br His name is Mr. Fate, my special companion.
