Touch and See
When I was a boy, I wanted all the pretty toys,
So I could play and show all the boys.
I wanted all the things I could touch and see,
I would be as happy as a boy could be.
When I was a young man, I wanted all the girls,
So I could make love and touch their beautiful curls.
I wanted all the women I could touch and see,
I would be as happy as a young man could be.
When I was a man, I wanted all the things I could get,
So I could conquer all with no regret.
I wanted to impress everyone I could touch and see,
I would be as happy as a man could be.
When I was an old man, I wanted my life I wasted,
So I could enjoy my family and things I never tasted.
I wanted everything I didn't touch and see,
I would be as happy as an old man could be.
When I was a dying man, I wanted God’s hand,
So I could go and see the Promised Land.
I wanted Jesus to touch and see,
I would be as happy as a dying man could be.
