Glittering In the Golden Years

Oh, shiny gold Reflect light to lead my way Home away from home Simpler times gave way to now Oh, my friend Oh, my simple shining friend You were there As a child went through life Now a man Now a man grants you your life again Not the same, yet You’re welcomed blurred through tears Oh, my friend You kept me waiting for too long You shaped my life Now let me give my gift to you Restore life It’s been so long Oh, my friend Welcome back into this brave new world
