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
