It Lives In Me

Life and time and lessons learned In hopes with heed, I don’t get burned How things do change as I have grown In contemplating all I’ve known When memories on jukebox play I think about a carefree day Where worries wore a different face The consequence of youthful grace A song of love that I once knew Designer jeans with knees worn through No thoughts of losing those I love Just thoughts of what I’m dreaming of A song to dance the night til dawn Without the slightest urge to yawn No thoughts of fear for what’s ahead Just thoughts of what to wear instead Why should the music ever end While someone has an ear to bend It lives, it streams, it changes form And yet with feeling, no less warm Perhaps that is the lesson learned The one that time has really earned A life, like music, always plays It’s just, we hear it different ways No need to fear, no tears to lose No worries for a path to chose What once was me will always be My spirit lives, it lives age free
