Living At the Speed of Light

Maybe I want to cry and maybe I want to sigh, and maybe I'm looking for a fight Feeling I'm invincible, often non-sensible, living at the speed of light Too much time is wasted brooding over what might have been Too many days are spent looking at yesterday's sin I want to stand at the top of a mountain and scream until I can scream no more I want to hold hands with an angel and walk along a peaceful shore Hop a freight train in the middle of nowhere and head on down the track There's too much waiting up ahead to ever start looking back Live each day from early dawn until the darkness falls at night Live each day as if there's no tomorrow, living at the speed of light There are bridges to cross and mountains to climb, another trail to find Visit places you've never been, leaving the old world behind Charter a course that's never been sailed. There's a new island in sight Ride with the wind, reaching for dreams, living at the speed of light Go where you've never been, where only the valiant can find you Ride with your heart, never stopping, never looking behind you Live for the moment, don't stop, no fear of the approaching night Take it to the limit, going the distance, living at the speed of light.

I'm too old, Vince, to live at the speed of light, but I like your screaming at a mountain top. Love, daver
