And they don't follow me no more

And even the young are growin' old
Despite growing old, there is much yet to be communicated or experienced.
Still so much to tell
Anticipation of impending deception, lies becoming apparent.
And you know the lies are coming
The truth is undervalued or easily dismissed.
And you know the truth is cheap
Seeking solace or distraction without a concern for heavenly aspirations.
And it ain't heaven you're after no

Dreams don't keep their promises
Highlighting the unreliability of dreams in fulfilling promises.
Can't reap before you sow
Success requires effort before expecting rewards.
Took my glass looked past the sun
Gazing beyond immediate challenges, acknowledging the vastness of the unknown.
There's so much we don't know
There is much yet to be discovered or understood.
