about

Ageing is a mysterious thing. When you watch people in your life grow old, you know that it's your fate too.

lyrics

You’re born at the beginning
And you die in the end
Your time will soon be over
But you’ll be back again
You watch as all your loved ones
Take the path with you
Gray hairs and age lines
Relentlessly pursue

CHORUS: Like a rainbow painting the sky
You live until you die
Each and every morning
The arc of life is forming

Look out at your horizons
Decide who you will be
Make decisions, good and bad
As you write your history
You pay for your mistakes
And enjoy your just rewards
You try to take from life
Only things you can afford

CHORUS:

But sometimes you go walking
Down temptation’s lonely road
And you end up overspending
Your share of the mother lode

You’re born at the beginning
And you die in the end
Your time will soon be over
But you’ll be back again
Then suddenly your loved ones
Start to leave this earth
It forces you to look at things
For what they’re truly worth
