One Man Standing

decades are going by fast
I want to forget my past

future doesn’t scare me any more
this life of mine was never a bore

I know God is keeping score
not doing church any more

never claimed to be a saint
this life has never been quaint

I’ll stand my ground to the end
might be starting a new trend
