Poem Commentary

This is lyrics to a song a wrote for my band. Thought I'd put it on here for a friend to read. A friend I miss.

We Are Old

And we must never take asunder all the time that we spent old
And we must never tell our stories of our lives we left untold
And even though I will not sing this song forever may I say
That we will never be this young we are today
So let the world peak in to the lives we lead
And the actions that we take, define our deed 
We talk our whole lives as though we've lived
And yet we haven't even seen it as a gift
And we must never take asunder all the time that we spent old
And we must never let our stories of our lives we left untold
And even though I will not sing this song forever may I say
That we will never be this young we are today
So let the walls come rising up
But the gates will always reel
And when we stall the world of its madness
We will fix the pain we feel
So let the walls come crashing down
Let the world again see me
I want to hold your hand again
Everything I was meant to be
So let the world peak in to the lives we lead
And the actions that we take, define our deed 
We talk our whole lives as though we've lived
And yet we haven't even seen it as gift
And we must never take asunder all the time that we spent old
And we must never let our stories of our lives we left untold
And even though I will not sing this song forever may I say
That we will never be this young we are today
And we must never take asunder all the time that we spent old
And we must never let our stories of our lives we left untold
And even though I will not sing this song forever may I say
That we will never be this young we are today
We will never be this young we are today
And we must never take asunder all the time that we spent old
And we must never tell our stories of our lives we left untold

And even though I will not sing this song forever may I say
That we will never be this young we are today

So let the world peak in to the lives we lead
And the actions that we take, define our deed 
We talk our whole lives as though we've lived
And yet we haven't even seen it as a gift

 
And we must never take asunder all the time that we spent old
And we must never let our stories of our lives we left untold

 
And even though I will not sing this song forever may I say
That we will never be this young we are today

 
So let the walls come rising up
But the gates will always reel
And when we stall the world of its madness
We will fix the pain we feel

 
So let the walls come crashing down
Let the world again see me
I want to hold your hand again
Everything I was meant to be

 
So let the world peak in to the lives we lead
And the actions that we take, define our deed 
We talk our whole lives as though we've lived
And yet we haven't even seen it as gift

 
And we must never take asunder all the time that we spent old
And we must never let our stories of our lives we left untold

 
And even though I will not sing this song forever may I say
That we will never be this young we are today

 
And we must never take asunder all the time that we spent old
And we must never let our stories of our lives we left untold

 
And even though I will not sing this song forever may I say
That we will never be this young we are today

 
We will never be this young we are today

I love reading this poem, I'd still like to hear it as a song!

Poetry comes nearer to vital truth than history.
