about

Inspired by the words of Mark Twain, who wrote, "When I was a boy of 14, my father was so ignorant I could hardly stand to have the old man around. But when I got to be 21, I was astonished how much the old man had learned in seven years."

Dedicated to my own father and mother, both of whom represent a blueprint for gaining wisdom.

lyrics

When I was young, I was a foolish son
Thought I knew it all at fourteen
Now I'm amused by the words of Twain
With the passing time now I see

And as we all start to age
The wisdom of our fathers beckoning
Seems we are souls in a cage
Ever changing, but never changing
Ever changing, but never changing

A finite man, my time is short
Slowly learn to take it day by day
I hope in time to receive a kind report
The wisdom of my father, as I grey

And as we all start to age
The wisdom of our fathers deafening
Seems we are souls in a cage
Never changing, but ever changing
Never changing, but everchanging
