A home song - 3
45 years and more
The crowd came, hungry and lost
Pleading that I be their boss
I led, they follow, no question ask, not a single doubt
For they trust, I the boss
For the hungry, they I fed
For the jobless, work I gave
The uneducated, schools I built, an education they got
Most of it all, it's dignity they had
My hair grows white, my hearing fails
My eyes weaken, so my sight
No longer do I think, nor see the things I see
Never will I need to hide
Where are they who came to fight
Where are they who crumbled, left in flight
They made me mighty as they humbled themselves
And trembled at my sight
Chorus
For 45 years, I'll said it all
Things need done, I'll done it all
Take me on, I'll beaten them all
45 years on, I am waiting for more

I can't wait to pass on,
for I have praised myself too much,
No gratitude did I got,
when i am gone you may appreciate me much,
so enjoy the fruits I had labour for my bunch.
sounded like another version of my way : )
