Understand

People like me, old soldiers, old people
We understand
And as old as I am, I would pick up my cane
And defend you, till my last breath
Because I love you

Hey we should talk it out
Let's break down all these walls
And try to understand
Let's learn from each other now
Divided by our age
But now let's meet halfway
And try to understand
Let's learn from each other now

When I'm eighty I can barely walk
Weakened voice and I can barely talk
And I'm living out my final years in bed
I just want to hold your hand real tight
Have a final heart to heart no fight
Just to get some closure on this life, then I'm dead

So tell me what you wanna talk about
I feel like there's a hidden wall, I'm appalled
I feel like we never get along at all
We're divided between generations
But I think there's a little secret admiration
So there's a gap between the values, way of life would have you
If we put our pride to the side, we can understand each other better that's true
We are the millennial future leaders coming at you
We need your experience and wisdom more than ever now

I never hated you to be clear
It's just both sides are misunderstood
I leave the rest all in your hands
We're the young and we will lead and make you proud
So don't be worried yeah

Hey we should talk it out
Let's break down all these walls
And try to understand
Let's learn from each other now
Divided by our age
But now let's meet halfway
And try to understand
Let's learn from each other now

Shoutout to the elderly I have a lot of respect
You always keep it level headed always keep it in check
Despite our greatest divide, to you I confide
I may not show it but I look up to you as my guide
And when you finally pass away, it's epiphany
You will pass the torch, we will carry on your legacy
So give a call to your kids and your family
Unified as one, all love, no enemies

Sorry for the times we don't get along
Never take it personal, keep it headstrong
These times are changing, and I won't be alive
To see the rearranging
But this world will be in good hands
I know your generation has big plans
Even though I won't see it change firsthand
I lived a good life now I understand

I never hated you to be clear
It's just both sides are misunderstood
I leave the rest all in your hands
We're the young and we will lead and make you proud
So don't be worried yeah

Hey we should talk it out
Let's break down all these walls
And try to understand
Let's learn from each other now
Divided by our age
But now let's meet halfway
And try to understand
Let's learn from each other now

Now it's time to say goodbye
And don't you worry everything will be fine
We were all together living one moment in history
What a life, beauty, love, pain, misery
