Grey Hair

Grey hair in glorious flair Life in top gear My young will you ever get there Will you lend wisdom an ear? It doesn’t come year after year Not to those who’s path’s unclear Maturity is something rare It's the giant leap over fear It's the sheer will to dream big, to dare It’s attacking life with the hunger of a bear And the full blast of nuclear Will my heart ever breath that air Through a mind so clear, so pure? Sitting in my rocking chair, up in the stratosphere My rocket launching, burning my last flare A new found perspective, a new sound I hear To map life with an open heart full of love and care In shining silver and glorious wonder, for a place up here
