wise old man
shed no more tears
your boys still love you
give in to your fears
wise old man
how i wish you could live
remember them now
and just try to forgive
wise old man
now's not the time for sorrow
they will be alright
you won't live to see tomorrow
wise old man
don't give in to your anger
it's time to let go
your life is in danger
wise old man
you know your time is coming
breathe in, breathe out
brace yourself for the incoming
wise old man
you haven't let them down
close your eyes
lay your head upon the ground
