eighteen thousand, 
two hundred and fifty days�
passed on
the wisdom of the ages
to the kids you�ve raised.

i cannot verify
if what I�ve been told is a lie;
life gets better

after fifty?

the wisdom of the ages
will prove this life is just a practice run,
will prove this life is just a�

i want to live forever
if it just keeps getting better,
so tell me life gets better
life gets better after fifty.
