Pass the torch

If I could live forever
Would I really want to?
Only up in heaven above
That's where I'm going to
For here on earth it's hard
To carry on and on and on
So we pass the torch
To our children...
For them to carry on
Each new generation
Gets to see everything anew
They see the beauty 
In each blessed sunrise
They enjoy the discovery
Of something new each day
Happily going out to search
For something new
To pave their own way
Technology flies forward
Dreams are lived in life
But for us oldies
Everything becomes...
Simply more and more strife
For us it just gets boring
Yes that is absolutely true
And everything is harder 
And harder to do
So pass the torch...
As God intended
Though man was...
Given long life...
Unending...
Sin entered in
Stole away his peace
And now man declines
Just as God demanded
