We Don't Have To Get Old

We can't help getting older, but we don't have to get old

I heard that from a wise man who I met along the road

He spoke of getting up in years, yet aging just a bit

He cleared his throat, sucked in his chest, let out a mighty spit

Age is just a number, a false reality

I might feel as old as you or you as old as me 

Often we have heard that quote, you're old as you may feel

The wize man on the road told me that quote was very real

He spoke of staying young by doing things you love to do

Remember this, to thy self you always must stay true

You have to want to do more then simply just survive

All people need a reason to want to be alive

He cleared his throat, sucked in his chest, bestowed me with his wit

He spoke of getting up in years yet aging just a bit

I learned this from a wise man who was walking down the road

We can't help getting older but we don't have to get old
