I See It Now

That year in oakland high

When I was seventeen

The grass from there to san jose

Was high and cool and green

I see it now

Too brash and young was i

To know what time could mean

The old acacia, long cut down,

Was felt but never seen

I see it now

That world

I knew is lost to me

Loves have come and gone

The years go racing by

I live as best

I canAnd all at once

I know it means the making of a man

I see it now

I see it now

I see it now
