Ive Been Around
Ive been alive forever, and Ive been around,
Ive seen the beginning of light and sound.
Ive seen Betty Ross sew the first flag,
Ive seen Elvis Presley put into a body bag.
Ive seen the Titanic sail its maiden run,
Ive seen cities bake under the sun.
Ive seen Lincoln set the slaves free,
Ive seen warships sent out to sea.
Ive seen the first atomic bomb,
Ive seen the first nuclear alarm.
Ive seen Martin Luther King stand for his rights,
Ive seen brave soldiers sent off to fight.
Ive seen women get the right to vote,
Ive seen letters that Anne Franks wrote.
Ive seen the space shuttle fall from the sky,
Ive seen the first President cry.
Ive seen Mother Nature at its worst,
Ive seen captives die of thirst.
Ive seen controversy in the White House,
Ive seen experimental drugs kill a mouse.
Ive seen close election days,
Ive seen evil dictators have their way.
Ive seen twin towers hit the ground,
Ive seen the first airplane break the speed of sound.
Ive seen parents stricken with grief,
Ive seen mad cow affect our beef.
Ive seen Priests abuse our young,
Ive seen the birth of a newborn son.
Ive seen suicide bombers strike at will,
Ive seen B52 bombers strike to kill.
Ive seen a Nation fall from grace,
Ive seen decisions made in haste.
Ive seen kingdoms rise, and kings fall,
Ive been around, Ive seen it all.
