I have these thoughts going on in my head

My hopes are placed in some future ahead

My finite means tune the world to its will

My higher verb is forever fulfilled



I contemplate this immortal outcome

A timeless trace of future times to come

I know I'm more than the span my life

I know I'm more than my own local strife



If I live old

To see my grey days

My heart will stay true - and forever young

This minute of gold

I won't let it daze

Catching the fleeing moment bid it remain



If I live old

To see my grey days

My heart will stay true - and forever young

This minute of gold

I won't let it daze

Catching the fleeing moment bid it remain
