The Older I get
The older I get
With each day passing by
The farther my motion is set
To the tune of what good come nigh.
The older I get
The better I strive to become;
To rise above the neglect
And to have things work in uniform.
The older I get
The deeper I became bequeathed
With the truth of how life work
And of how things became diluted.
The older I get
The clearer life to me is
Of trials,of friendship and hatred
And of people who had me dissed.
The older I get
The more responsibilities are shouldered to me
For I ought make some consent
To things expected from me.
The older I get
The more my ages aches
Keeping me a call at Bay
Of the home with the sages.
The older I get
The nearer I am to the grave
Though of the day I cannot bet
Yet it's a truth I cannot waive .
