Sometimes other peoples mistakes, Weight more then those of our own It’s ironic, to know all that it takes To find the courage to stand up alone Wherever you look, there’s no one home And you doubt someone will remember If they ever talked to you on the phone Your name and laugh, won’t last forever You will vanish at the end of December New year, new people, new memories And you don’t get younger, but older This life is just what you see it seems It goes on and someday you’ll be replaced Make it so, that no one can take your place
