Lately

Lately Lately I’ve been thinking About the road that lies ahead And the things I’d liked to accomplish Long before I’m dead The goals I sat aside When I married and had a child The aspirations in my head That used to run so wild. Lately I’ve been realizing That time does not stand still That dreams are for the few Who never give up the will I’ve done the noble thing Placed myself at a distant third But the voices in my mind Simply beg to be heard. Lately I’ve been contemplating Racing against time Surging on with life Reaching the finish line Reaching for my dreams Before they slip away Accomplishing my hearts desires Seizing the upcoming day.
