Lyrics
I was young.
I was young, I was a handsome boy, I was young I was a pretty girl
I was young, I did not know what is old, I was young I did not know what is old
I’m now old, I’m frail and weak, I’m old I could not do a thing
You see the world is not fail Lord, I’m glad I’m on my way to heaven
I’m glad, I’m glad oh my Lord, I’m glad, I’m on my way to heaven.
I was young, I had a family, I was young I cared for family
I’m now old my family abandoned me, where? There in a nursing home
When I died, my family came back, for what? To share my property
You see the world is not fair Lord, I’m glad I’m on my way to you.
I’m glad I’m glad oh my Lord, I am glad I’m on my way to you.
I was young, I had a choice of clothing, I was young I clothed to my choice
When I’m old I have no choice of clothing, because strangers clothed me,
You see the world is not fair Lord, I’m happy I will be coming to you
I’m happy, I’m happy I’m happy Lord, I’m happy I will be coming to you.
I was young, I had friends and family, I was young, I was the cozy one
I’m now old, all abandoned me, where? In a nursing home
You see the world is not fair Lord, I’m happy you are only friend I have
I’m happy, I’m happy, I’m happy Lord, I’m happy, I belong to you.
I was old, I went to nursing home, I was old I went to have a care
When you are old forget about care, because money is better than care
You see, the rush is not fair Lord, money and time, are better than care
I’m glad, I’m glad, I’m glad Lord, I’m glad, I will soon be home.
I was young, I had all going for me, I was young, I could do all I want
When you are young, be nice to the old, because you will soon be there,
You will be there, I know you will be there you will be there, before you know.
When you are young, be nice to the old, because you will soon be there,
You will be there, you will be there you will be there, before you know.
When you are young, be nice to the old, because you will soon be there,
You will be there, you will be there you will be there, before you know.
