Getting old

Getting Old

Take the dam next to the water
Next to flowers and old times
I hoped the view was still the same.
'Cause I've been losing strength in power
Regret occupies my mind
I'm sick of loneliness and pain.

I used to be, young and free
Worried about my legacy
Now I'm aged and alone.
I'm getting old, and growing up
Is not what it's cracked up to be
We're just names in stone.

When we're young,
We think we're perfec, indestructible and strong.
Let me tell you that you're wrong.

'Cause I have watched life come and go
My God, I've seen my children die.
Respect and glory are just talk. I used to be, young and free
Worried about my legacy
Now I'm aged and alone.
I'm getting old, and growing up
Is not what it's cracked up to be
We're just names in stone.

We're just names in stone....

Hold on to your youth
'Cause soon you'll be old, too.
Hold on to your youth
'Cause soon you will die, too
