When

When I get too old
To realize what is going on
To understand when to back off
To sit quietly and let the players play
Rid me of this earth

When I get too sick
To accept ones faults
To realize I'm dead wrong
To show compassion
Lock me away and swallow the key

When I get too dumb
To neglect those in need
To oppress the oppressed
To lose faith in myself
Send me down the river

When I get too big
To cry my eyes out
To laugh at silliness
To smile at the classics
Drop me from the board
