|
Never thought I'd live to be old enough |
|
To be old enough to feel like this and |
|
Never thought I'd figure it out enough |
|
To be loud enough to make you listen |
|
On and on the meadows sing |
|
They ring out merry the view |
|
On and on my conscience blared |
|
And shared my longing for you |
|
Never thought I'd live to be old enough |
|
To be bold enough to make a difference |
|
Never thought I'd figure it out enough |
|
To be proud enough to take my mission |
|
Never thought I'd live to be smart enough |
|
To have heart enough to find a better way |
|
Never thought I'd live to be old enough |
|
To have soul enough to pass perdition |
|
Never thought I'd count up the years enough |
|
To be clear enough on my convictions |
|
Life ain't all it claims to be |
|
It clings to me when it's blue |
|
Life brought all its pain to me |
|
And shamed my longing for you |
|
Never thought I'd live to be old enough |
|
To be told enough to lose the bullies |
|
Never thought I's able to learn enough |
|
To be firm enough to live life fully |
|
Never thought I'd live to be strong enough |
|
To be young enough to find a better song |
|
Then you came along |
|
Never thought I'd live to be old enough |
