Trying to get through it if I can
I want to see how it ends
Without the authoritarian
I hope my country transcends
Having gotten to be an old man
Who has not forgotten yet
The rottenness has not gotten me
Might as well be fighting it
The forgetful to a reckoning
I can for the rest of whatever
Trying not to get depressed
About it between now and never
Worried about my young friends
And the future we have seen between
When hope can be hard to see
Both young and old seen as lesser-than
But they all know what I mean
Through all of this I have known they knew
The only hope I have seen
For the darkest hour before the dawn
Hope to spark the break of day
What may be forgotten not yet gone
Lucky for me and humanity
After a lifetime of trying to
I can see how life goes on
Lucky now the kids know what to do
