An Old Fella

An Old Fella

By Paul McCann

Did you hear about the old fella there

who lives in so much pain.

His body is tired and weary

but he’s  happy just the same .

He never gets a helping hand ,

He never gets a friendly smile  ,

it never seems to worry him at all ,

Cause he’s only here for a while .

The other day I heard him say,

thank God I’m still alive ,

the cost of living is  killing me

and I’m trying to survive .

You’ll never understand

because you’ll  never said hello,

I’m just  an old fellow in your eyes

invisible in the world you know.

Running out of time and someday you’ll find

an old fella will become your name.

When you’re an old fella you’ve got to be brave

facing the fact that you’re alone

and you spent the time that you never had  

and you saved what you never really owned .

You can never have it back again

never take for granted the old fella

that you became

Running out of time ,

someday you’ll find

you’re an old fella that’s what life designed

and in time you’ll be fitted up just the same .
