I think this is meant to be in the perspective of an old person, perhaps one of their grandparents because I can't imagine why else they would write a song like this. lol
"I used to be, young and free
Worried about my legacy
Now I'm aged and alone.
I'm getting old, and growing up
Is not what it's cracked up to be"
"'Cause I have watched life come and go
My God, I've seen my children die.
Respect and glory are just talk."
And how you just get old an die.
"Hold on to your youth
'Cause soon you'll be old, too.
Hold on to your youth
'Cause soon you will die, too."
