Elderly Elephants

Have you ever seen elephants plodding along
Looking so wise old and grey?
They follow the leader all in a row
Although you might like them to stay
But still they must go on their way
Have you ever heard elephants tell you a tale of
Memories from long long ago?
Sharing a history, singing a song
Teaching the things that they know
You’ll carry with you as you grow?
Elderly elephants, wave them goodbye
Someday they’ll be out of sight
Follow their footprints wherever you go
You’ll keep their memory bright
Have you ever seen elephants plodding along
Looking so wise old and grey?
They follow the leader all in a row
Although you might like them to stay
But still they must go on their way
But still they must go on their way
