When I was young, younger than beforenI never saw the truth hanging from the doornAnd now I'm older, see it face to facenAnd now I'm older, got to get up clean the placennAnd I was greener, greener than the hillnWhere flowers grew and the sun shone stillnNow I'm darker than the deepest seanJust hand me down, give me a place to bennAnd I was strong, strong in the sunnI thought I'd see when day is donenNow I'm weaker than the palest bluenOh so weak in this need for you
