Incorrigible Old Men Lyrics

A wise old man, what makes him smile? Lost in his tasks,

Running round like a squirrel, where's he got that zest?

What drives him on, what's the reason why?

He'll tell you, if he feels it's worth his time.

They're all the same at this age, don't you see?

Stubborn, a little grumpy, but you know they care deeply.

Rushing through their days, like racing against the clock,

What's this curious phenomenon of age, tick-tock?

He loves his grandkids more than his own, oh it's true!

For them, he'd break his back, he's steadfast and true.

In his mind, they're his world, his purpose, his fight,

He'll never show it, but he thinks of them day and night.

Have you noticed your elders lost in thought?

Sometimes it's persistent, but it's not what they've sought.

What's left in their lives? Only grandkids to hold,

Don't try to change their minds; it's their heart that's been sold.

Leave them be, don't disturb, no need to feel so blue,

You think they spoil the kids, but what were you up to?

Remember weekends spent with your own folks' love,

You've walked their path too, now see from above.

He loves his grandkids more than his own, oh it's true!

For them, he'd break his back, he's steadfast and true.

In his mind, they're his world, his purpose, his fight,

He'll never show it, but he thinks of them day and night.

Let them have their busy lives, don't interfere,

Rejoice in their joy, let it shine, let it cheer.

Your kids are all they have, their spark in the dark,

Don't judge too harshly, it's love that ignites the spark.

He loves his grandkids more than his own, oh it's true!

For them, he'd break his back, he's steadfast and true.

In his mind, they're his world, his purpose, his fight,

He'll never show it, but he thinks of them day and night.
