<br>

The children have grown, they've gone beyond and over the hill <br>No one thinks they're coming back, but I know they will. <br>Thirty-eight years, they've been away now, <br>When they come home they'll have looks to kill. <br>But knowledge to save the next generation from fallin' in the well. <br>They'll stay afloat with love and patience, laughter and hope <br>And music to dance with- hell, you can dance all you want to. <br> <br>‘Cause I'm not young, I'll never be old. <br> <br>A hundred beads put on her string for each year she's been living, yea. <br>It's asleep in her hand, along with her wedding ring and her will. <br>She throws it behind her, and strips down ‘til there's nothing left <br>But the freckled skin she was born in, <br>She takes off running, to come sing with me <br>On the other side of the hill. <br> <br>‘Cause I'm not young, I'll never be old. <br> <br>(Musical interlude) <br> <br>The children have grown, they've gone beyond and over the hill <br>No one thinks they're coming back, but I know they will. <br>Thirty-eight years, they've been away now, <br>When they come home they'll have looks to kill. <br>But knowledge to save the next generation from fallin' in the well. <br>They'll stay afloat with love and patience, laughter and hope <br>And music to dance to- hell, you can dance all you want to. <br> <br>‘Cause I'm not young, I'll never be old <br> <br>(Thanks to Victoria for these lyrics)<br>
