                                                                              "Old Man"

Everyone has gone away
Can you hear me? Can you hear me?
No one cared enough to stay
Can you hear me? Can you hear me?
You must remember me old man
I know that you can if you try
So just open up your eyes, old man
Look who's come to say goodbye

The sun has left the sky, old man
The birds have flown away
And no one came to cry, old man
Goodbye, old man, goodbye

You want to stay, I know you do
But it ain't no use to try
'Cause I'll be here-and I'm just like you
Goodbye, old man, goodbye

Won't be no God to comfort you
You taught me not to believe that lie
You don't need anybody
Nobody needs you
Don't cry, old man, don't cry
Everybody dies
 

                                                                                                                                     Randy Newman
                               Poignant lyrics by one of the best American songwriters, it is easy to dismiss

                                                 the notion of a Creator, God, when all's well. When death arrives not so much.

                                                 Take heart though, there is and has always been a God. In fact it is "inexcusable"

                                                  not to believe in him. Romans 1:20
