Old Man [A Tribute]

Old man,
Won't you tell me,
How did you keep courage during the war?

Old man,
Won't you tell me,
How did you hold back the tears when the Europeans took your land?

Old man,
Won't you tell me,
How did you make ends meet during The Great Depression?

Old man,
Won't you tell me,
How did you feed your family when you lost your job?

Old man,
Won't you tell me,
How did you keep faith when you were persecuted for your beliefs?

Old man,
Won't you tell me,
How did you keep courage while you were imprisoned overseas?

Old man,
Won't you tell me,
How did you stay brave when the white men enslaved you?

Old man,
Won't you tell me,
How did you survive?

You're still here.

Peace,
Justin
