Memories

One night I went to bed, I was ten

Woke up I was thirty

Twenty years all blurry

I'm not worried

It's just time's in a hurry

I've asked God to slow it down before

But it's like he hasn't heard me

In earlier times I kept my eye out for signs

The kind that mark when you cross a finish line

I lost the plot when I got so far behind

That the race I struggled through was more like a climb

But now I'm old enough to look back and know that
