WHAT'S THE LIFE OF A MAN



As I was a walking one morning at ease

A viewing the leaves as they fell from the trees

All in slow motion appearing to be

And those that had withered, they fell from the trees



What's the life of a man anymore than the leaves

A man has his season, so why should we grieve

Though all thru this life, we appear fine and gay

Like the leaves we will wither and soon fade away



If you'd seen the leaves just a few days ago

So beautiful and bright they all seemed to grow

A frost came upon them and withered them all

A storm came upon them and down they did fall



If you look in the churchyard, there you will see

Those that have passed like the leaves from the trees

When age and affliction upon us do fall

Like the leaves we must wither and down we must fall
