From 44 to 48

Then between 13 and 17
I’d dreamed of all the things I’d be and how
I’d see you all from high on a mountain and know I could take it
Then between 19 and 21
I knew one day that I’d become someone
And I’d stand up in front of a crowd and feel them adore me
Then from 24 to 25
A girl I liked became my wife I tried
It was harder than I’d ever imagined to keep all my dreams alive
Then from 28 to 33
A new responsibility, a child
And I worked hard to give her a home, to love and to shelter her
Then from 44 to 48
I knew I’d left it far too late for sure
To climb up the mountain 'cause time’s always running away from me
