you see an old man, struggling on his stick,
you hurt him with your words and go your way.
but you expect to be honored, each time the clock ticks,
forgetting that you barely do the same.

a teacher advices, but you reject her with your noise,
she leads you the right way, but you ignore her stress.
then why want others to listen to your voice,
when onto others you don't show a little respect.

respect is just a word, you may never consider,
but when your world starts crumbling, you will be its believer.
don't do tomorrow what you would have don't today,
respect is respect, do it and go your way!
