as we all grow old
as we all grow old:
our life story should be told:
when we were young and our life just begun:
as a child we all spent our time having fun:
then when we became a teen:
our parents we pushed them until they screamed:
then out of school and collage bound:
our new self confidence found:
we thought we knew it all:
when we were grown up and tall:
to our parents we gave neglect and blatent disrespect:
we thought many secrets from them we kept:
what we learned as a child:
we forgot about it and turned wild:
we had to find our own way:
we didnt have time to be good and pray:
our friends became more important than friends and family:
we were grown up mature and free:
we felt no obligation to our family at all:
we were grown up proud and tall:
