I never thought I'd live to be a hundred
I never thought I'd get to do the things
That all those other sons do, and they do.
I never thought I'd ever have my freedom
An age ago my maker was refusing me
The pleasure of the view. [ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsmode.com/lyrics/m/moody_blues/i_never_thought_id_live_to_be_a_hundred.html ]
