Look, youth now we stand
At the _top of the hill
Looking down on the crowds
That look up at us still
As they wait for the time
When our grasp will grow weak
When our youth turns to grey
And we fall at their feet
But if we hold on to life
If we have faith in our God
Then Our youth will fade proud
Like the night to the dawn
Though the bold of the nights
Was the youth of our days
The old of the dawn
Is the beauty that stays
In the clean morning light
When our life first begins
We find ourselves old
And memories grow dim
