You may be old, but you are not governed by fear, Death comes and you welcome it, You laugh at the few who cry, Your heart still wanting to be alone, I want to be just like you, But is that wise, Old Man? You hate the wind, Is it because you can't be free like the winged? You think love is a foul word, You embrace resentment, I want to be just like you, But is that wise, Old Man? Have you ever had a friend? I bet you don't need one, I bet you never had your heart broken, I wonder if you have one, I want to be just like you, But is that wise, Old Man?                                               -Firefly

Old Man?
You may be old, but you are not governed by fear, Death comes and you welcome it, You laugh at the few who cry, Your heart still wanting to be alone, I want to be just like you, But is that wise, Old Man? You hate the wind, Is it because you can't be free like the winged? You think love is a foul word, You embrace resentment, I want to be just like you, But is that wise, Old Man? Have you ever had a friend? I bet you don't need one, I bet you never had your heart broken, I wonder if you have one, I want to be just like you, But is that wise, Old Man?                                               -Firefly
