OUR LIFE SPEEDS BY ME
Our life speeds by me
I hear the sound near me
Looking as I hoping to see
Are you still apart of me
Our life speeds by me
Once again am I free
Am I free, am I free,
Getting closer to my destiny
From you the touch is gone
Yet, I’m still hungry and strong
Wanting deep inside to belong
My heart became a pumping beat
As the air feels my lungs streams
I flow more with the wind into you again
But, now as a friend, holding on till the end
Our children need us now
Closing tightly as they learn how
Keeping our souls together with A prow
Do we know what to do, tell me how
We had a head start
Then we fall apart
Now where is our hearts
With our children smarts
Still falling apart and getting older
Who’s colder
Our life speeds by me
In our kids ??s
Once again I’m I free
Our life speeds by me
You will never let me be
But our kids will soon set me free
From you, from you, it always come back to me
Let’s take care of our children leave me be
I’m free, I’m free, can I be me
