Out of the mouths of babes...

First read this morning from one of my children. Went straight to the heart and filled me with love and gratitude. Ah yes, may we find that place where rainbows never die.

I'm an old man now, I can't do nothing

Young folks don't pay me no mind

But in my day, I sure was something

Before I felt the heavy hand of time

I'm an old man now, I'm bound for glory

Time to lay these burdens down

Had enough of this old world of worry

Gonna trade my troubles for a crown

I will make my way across the fields of cotton

And wade through muddy waters one last time

And in my dreams I come out clean

When I reach the other side

Waste away the sunsets

Where rainbows never die

I've got on last thing to do

One more mile before I'm through

Casting off these earthly chains

Going where there's no more pain

I will make my way across the fields of cotton

And wade through muddy waters one last time

And in my dreams I come out clean

When I reach the other side

Waste away the sunsets

Where rainbows never die

I'm an old man now, can't do nothing

Young folks don't pay me no mind
