Age and Attitude

How old would I be if I didn't know,

And no one could tell me my age;

How old would I be, according to me,

And what would I use for a gage?

Is time the thing to measure life by,

Or the passing of the years;

Is there not something more precious than time,

The toils, the heart-aches, the tears?

How old would I be if I did not know,

How old would I according to me?

I'll gage my life by my attitude,
