Younger Men Grow Older

"Wish I was a younger man"

Said the old man to the young man

Oh, I told you what I would do

That is if I could find something to do

I never did before

Because the younger men

Grow older everyday

Wish we had a better plan

To get us where we want to go

How useful it would be

But I feel if we don't plan ahead

We surely will need a helping hand

'Cause younger men

Grow older everyday

Wish I could see my children grow

And doing what they want to do

Oh, that is all I am living for

But if you don't tell them

How to do what they want to do

You find out that

Younger men grow older everyday

Wished we had not wrecked the land

By understanding without a plan

And wastin' all those lives, yeah, yeah

So if we do not say it now

We may never ever survive

To hear them say

Younger men grow older everyday

We may not even see

We may not even see

We may not even see

Younger men grow older

Oh, no, no, no, no

We may not even see

Younger men grow older

We may not even see

We may not survive

To even see younger men grow older

No, no

Younger, younger men grow older

Older, we may not even see

Younger men grow older
