If occupational success is your number one goal,a day will come when you regret that goal.
The day began with giggles and joviality.
This long awaited day had finally arrived,
A day of recognition and conviviality.
Fourty long years and today its time to say good-bye.

This long awaited day had finally arrived.
Then the scales fell from my eyes, tomorrow I will be in exile;
Fourty long years and today its time to say good-bye.
I ponder in fear, maybe I should stay a while.

Then the scales from my eyes, tomorrow I will be in exile.
I had not any forethought of my life after this place.
I ponder in fear, maybe I should stay a while;
If I leave, I will just be replaced.

I had not any forethought of my life after this place;
No hobbies, no activities, no family, what am I to do?
If I leave, I will just be replaced.
Forty years of work, to be in the hands of someone new.

No hobbies, no activites, no family what am I to do?
I have had nothing but a career to keep me stabalized.
Forty years of work, to be in the hands of someone new
Is something I cannot fathom; my work is something that I prized.

I have had nothing but a career to keep me stabalized.
To find something else just as important in my life
Is something I cannot fathom; my work is something that I prized.
I will just have to live and die alone, in my own blight.

To find something else just as important in my life
Would be an impossible endeavor, I shall remain deprived;
I will just have to live and die alone, in my own blight.
The day began with giggles and joviality.
