Reckoning

I know unhappiness
Waits there to greet the young
When I get older, I know there will be
A moment of reckoning
Daddy gave you all his charm
And slipped right out of your little arms
It’s good that you have friends that you can lean against
And when it’s late sometimes it feels
My mind is a spinning ferris wheel
Racing but not taking anybody anywhere
All I can do
When your friends are grayer, by the day
It’s not nostalgia, though I know it feels that way
When you see them all in suit and tie
I won’t find peace of mind obsessing on progressing time
I wanted to say thanks for all your influence
All I could do
All I could do
All I could do
All I could do
