No holding back

I worked so many years, without a rest With dreams and hopes, on this lifelong quest The working hours are now a thing of the past Retirement's, time to live and fly so fast No more alarm clock ringing early in the morn The time on the clock is now just a scorn Work-related worries have all been cast away Retirement is the dawn of a brand new day Now I can travel, with no holding back Explore new places Enjoy leisure and tranquility, it's a fact Retirement's the freedom, I've always wanted, intact Looking back with gratitude at the years of toil With friends and colleagues, who added to the soil But now I look ahead towards a future so bright Retirement is a gift Now I can travel, with no holding back Explore new places Enjoy leisure and tranquility, it's a fact Retirement's the freedom, I've always wanted, intact I worked so many years
