40 years as a working man 40 years of my life Each day I drove across the land Each day returned at night Forty years of days and nights through peace and lov and fear Still I kept to moving on though the way was far from clear And I said feet on the sand And run with the waves Soak up the warming sun Walk with your dogs And breathe in the air Go out and have some fun 40 years to learn something You’d hope some wisdom comes In time you’d hope that your senses ring As we circle around the sun Wake up each day with clear bright mind And find enthusiasm Look for the new exciting find Instead of the darkest chasm And I said feet on the sand And run with the waves Soak up the warming sun Walk with your dogs And breathe in the air Go out and have some fun And I said feet on the sand And run with the waves Soak up the warming sun Talk with with your friends And breathe in the air Go out and have some fun Have some fun So tell me 40 yrs of a working life Have given me an appreciation Of the value of love and toil and strife And the journey not the destination So 40 years of fears and tears Was wasted use of emotion And what matters most in this one life Is a day spent in the ocean And I say feet on the sand And run with the waves Soak up the warming sun Talk with with your friends And breathe in the air Go out and have some fun Have some fun Have fun
