Old man
your race is run
you think it's over
it's only begun
child is born
who has to face
the world you're leaving a dangerous place
Listen to the voices
crying to be free
can we be the promise that we promised to be
love and understanding are better than a war
people just laughing 'cause they've heard it before
Night chills in plenty
town cardboard hotels
they sleep on the ground
hard choices how to respond
red or rosé with the duck à l'orange
Listen to the voices
so easy to ignore
choruses of old folk scared to open the door
living in the shadows
dying in the cold
inner city jungle ain't no place to grow old
helpless, we'll never be
'though justice is so hard to see
Kindness, yes
that same old song
but
don't stop singing
there's so much strength in kindness
Listen to the voices
crying to be free
can we be the promise that we promised to be
love and understanding are better than a war
people just laughing 'cause they've heard it before
