Lyrics
Old man take a look at me, there's a sadness in my eyes
I've been all around this world and I've seen how people lie
Like a wolf in sheep's clothing or some other grand disguise
I've seen you take a bow for the man that I've become
Then watched you walk away when wrongly I had done
There's a line between us and you pushed my heart aside
Chorus
When it's all done, you'll know my name
when it's all said, there'll be no shame
You better keep your fist with your pride
And I'll keep mine at my side
Old man, take a look at me, there's a lot that you can learn
I know you think I'm young, but I've felt how life can burn
Like a fire on the mountain that lights up the sky for miles
chorus
