Old man, wise man
sitting by the road, by the fire
returning the dreaming
to another in another place
Old man, young man who is my friend
Singing
By the road of Life
The fights too hard, too long
Shutting down the dreaming of your youth
By
the thoughts and meanings that
Enter your mind
Tell me, old man, young man, my friend
From where these came
This wish to
Sing yourself to sleep
I hear you
Old man, young man, my friend
Your hand trembles
The fights been long, your voice faint
Yet with what can you muster
The strength that remains
To hope for better days
Invoking a song long ago
Sung over you
By One who knows
Your name
Whose Anthem joins hands
Across time and space
Old man, young man, who is my friend
Take my hand
Together
Let’s arise
From the ashes of the fire
By the road
For
You are not alone as you
Call upon this ancient Song
From the north, south, east and west
The wind, sea, earth and fire
All sing the Song of Life
Halting the devils dance
The singing of
Death
You alone hold the power
To revoke
The dance
this singing of death
Old man, young man, who is my friend
Come
Amplify the Song of Life with me
Let it revive your weary bruised spirit
Side by side
We will stand
Extending the Spirit Torch
Igniting your song
Of life
