Stone grey horizons and shadows til night yet you wonder,
I work til I’m tired then watch TV til 9 still you wonder
Why I feel I’m just one in the crowd
And I fear I’ll be used then discarded.
As the younger ones come and their ties are undone made redundant
All the knowledge I hold has no compare to gold for the youngest
And so I fear I’m just one in the crowd
And I fear I’ll be used then discarded.
For if age holds no beauty and age holds no wisdom,
Then what is the use of this journey I walk
And if families a burden spending all that I’m earning
Then what is the point of the people I walk with?
If I crawled from the fishes, survive as the fittest
Do I climb the bones of the ones who are small?
Or do I walk with the angels, take joy in my neighbours
And live like we’re all meant to share in this world?
