Old age will come for you some day
And all the wild old men will celebrate the young
And that's because they have have so far left to run
One day that could be you my brothers and my sons
I miss my grandfather, he died far too young
He was an engineer and a farm er and a warrior until the day he was done
I wish i could've known him so much better
I wish I would've eaten all the breakfasts that he made me on a platter
Oh why do the good die young
Why do they have to die at all
Oh why do the good die young
Why do they have to die at all
Everywhere I go, I keep his compass close
In my jacket pocket, so I know where to go
Every day that I wake up, I drink some orange juice
He said that "A cup a day will keep me alive and well"
Old age will come for me some day
And I hope it doesn't take me too soon
And I'll admit it, that I don't want to die
But I'm not scared of it, as long as it's not too soon
Oh why do the good die young
Why do they have to die at all
Why does there have to be a good and a bad
No I don't believe in it at all
