I'm too old for this.
I'm too old to fight.
It was so unsafe.
But when I looked into their eyes
I saw so much compassion
And humility and grace.
Really loyal people.
I'm too old for this.
I'm too old to fight.
It was so unsafe.
Where's the wisdom in that?
It was like a no-man's land
And it was a big risk.
I barely had enough,
It was not on fire anymore.
But I wasn't too old for this.
I was not too old to fight.
