As time passes thru’ my life
And I realize I’ve changed its velocity
By simply adjusting my stride
And following my curiosity
It’s a fact of life I believe
That when things slow down
You are just getting in position
For another one of lifes little showdowns
We bring them on ourselves you know
It’s all too easy to see
For stumbling thru’ our self made maze
Eventually the strong become the weak
To persist in an awkward direction
Seems at times all so right
Then your dreams come down around your ears
And how they fit so tight
So when do I lengthen my stride
And should I be so curious?
I guess it all comes with age
And not taking life so serious
Disappointment is an overwhelming feeling
But not so hard to thwart
Let your will power be the seedling
Of a life that’s all to short.
