Over the Hill

Over the hill what does those words mean
Are we  no use to those around
Or are we building another's dream
To help them have a life quite sound

Are we no use to those around 
Only if our wisdom seeds have no bed
To help them have a life quite sound 
Instead of one that's filled with dread

Only if our wisdom seeds have no bed 
Will we be without a harvest 
Instead of one that's filled with dread 
I want a life that will find rest 

Will we be without a harvest 
Or will you reap eternally 
I want a life that will find rest 
When I have been all I can be 

Now will you reap eternally 
Or are we building another's dreams 
When I have been all I can be 
Over the hill what does those words mean
