Cavemen

Richard Groff 1957 (Pottstown, Pa.)

Its time to open the cave again
Roll back the stone and welcome a friend
We’ve been cooped up for way to long
The air in here is rank and strong

Its time to let some fresh air in
We’ll pack our things and then begin
The journey is long and the road is rough
But that is why God made us tough

The dawn has broken up the night
Its time to go; I see the light
We’ll travel down the road together
I just can’t think of anything better
