The Golden Years

All through life, certain things remain
Death and paying taxes, play together in this game
Our youth is spent so fearlessly, we live without a care
Enjoyment is the nectar sought, to answer any dare

The early years pass so fast, we never stop to think
Of all things we need to know because we're in the pink
We work and save for the future, to retire in the Golden Years
Then to have fun and frolic, in the sun amid our peers

We have gained all the knowledge, all we can about life
Saved enough to cover ourselves, from any upcoming strife
Yes we have covered ourselves the best way that we could
But did we really cover ourselves, as fully as we should

To know for sure about the Golden Years, You need to talk with "God"
If you do so he will answer you and then give you the nod
You'll awake anew in the promised land and he will wipe away your tears
It is there, you see, you will understand, when and what are "THE GOLDEN YEARS"
