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.
