I saw the old dog die today Too tired and worn to mend In my world full of acquaintances How sad to lose a friend Animals they have no soul At least that's what they say Care more about your fellow man And those that loose their way The killing and the bombing The people that are maimed The children that are homeless The savages untamed

Yet I know I don't imagine The sadness that I feel And as the faithful eyes grew dim The tear I shed was real I cared about Northern Ireland And I cared about Vietnam But there are no rules for caring And I am just what I am
