Old Man Free Lyrics

I've seen the world in shadows

Through wars that tore the skies

Injustice and the hunger

The sorrow in their eyes

The rich kept growing richer

While the poor were left behind

The forests turned to ashes,

As nature cried in kind

But here I stand, an old man free

Grateful for the life that's been given to me

The earth beneath my feet, the sky above

I thank the world for its quiet love

Though time was hard, my soul survived

I'm thankful that I lived, that I've arrived

I've watched the greed of empires

The cities rise and fall

The cries of helpless children

Echoing through it all

But in this quiet valley

Where rivers still run clear

I thank the winds and whispers

For keeping me right here

But here I stand, an old man free

Grateful for the life that's been given to me

The earth beneath my feet, the sky above

I thank the world for its quiet love

Though time was hard, my soul survived

I'm thankful that I lived, that I've arrived
