V1 Time is of the esssence but you shouldn’t slave Savor every minute treasure every age Never take for granted each and every day Or you wind up left behind Had a lot of memories and time to play Wished that i had stayed and handnt walked away Never take for granted what we have today Living life through these younger eyes Chorus Young and always wishing to be older Now we looking back on days gone by Times I wish somebody would’ve told us Being young is a state of Mind V2 Speeding like a bullet tryin to catch the train Staying in the moment with a blender brain Hard to find a voice and then one day it came Love has to compromise Fighting for the freedom and the right to lead Focus on the things that you feel passionately Try to teach my kids that most importantly Gotta Learn how to you life your life And in the end you’ll find love is what you need More than money, more than fame it’s love and family

v1: You're never too old You're never too old to learn a lesson If you only try Don't believe what you're told You're never too old to find some magic No need to ask why ch: At my age, I should speak kinder Breath deeper Think sweeter thoughts I'm planning for 100, but who knows where it ends At my age, I should know better So why do I always keep forgetting At my age, I could use a few more friends v2: If you wanna come clean Just say what you mean No need to be ashamed, no need for tears Doesn't matter where you've been Just do what you can to make the best Of what we've got These last few years ch: At my age, I should speak kinder Breath deeper Think sweeter thoughts I'm planning for 100, but who knows where it ends At my age, I should know better So why do I always keep forgetting At my age, I could use a few more friends ch: At my age, I should speak kinder Breath deeper Think sweeter thoughts I'm planning for 100, but who knows where it ends At my age, I should know better So why do I always keep forgetting At my age, I could use a few more friends At my age, I could use a few more friends

It's not a nursery rhyme The evidence of time You won't collect a finder's fee And when the smoke has cleared The image, reappeared You're not the girl you used to be And if you see it in the mirror's glow The memories falling It’s not a pension plan You’ll wonder if you can If you’ll ever feel the same You’ll call the same routine You’ll light the kerosene And wonder when you lost the game And what you used to call your morning’s flame Is daylight burning facing down the years you fought Skin is thicker than you thought Now, you’d give it all to know Where the blood still wants to flow

Where to begin Long ago before I was a man Innocence it was my friend When I was young It was so much simpler before I tasted love I tasted life upon my tongue And I would never be the same I said here I go Out to find myself But I don’t know the way I’ll carved the path I’ll make it straight today And so I left Left my home to run off to the world unknown To wreck my mind and wrack my bones To make mistakes To learn to make a living on my own To breathe, to find a little piece of me To shine, well the sun was never a friend of mine Well here I go Another dog and pony show For all to see That I’m learning to start living with me I’ve never been so perfect But I’ve learned to accept That I’ll never be everything they want me to be And I have fallen, but I cannot be broken Well here I go I got a few deep burns by now I know my way I found it through my own mistakes And I forgot and forgave all the enemies I’ve made I guess this is growing up As I got old I grew a little wiser I settled down, but I’m still a little fucked now But I accept that things will never be as good as gold and sand or cocaine in my hands No it’s not for me, I’ll never win the lottery Well here I go I made it work I made it all my own Belief is something that I found in me I know the way I carved the path I made it straight today

Soft-tailed Hog  Racing ‘round the curves Till they called his name for ‘Nam Hear the laughter making plans Made it home to turn the page  Knew his way Around a hammer and nail No matter if it was raining, Started sun up until the waning Harder than the men half his age "Don’t grow up and spend your days like me. Get a good job and try to live free. Overworked and underpaid  ain’t no way to spent your days. Stand up straight, look ‘em in the eye Firm handshake, always try to be nice Limitation is no more than the sky I hope you get the most out of this life" Never said  too many words That were far beneath the surface Best kept behind closed curtains Drama’s better left on the stage "Don’t be afraid to fall Get back up and give it your all Do what’s right and show ‘em how it’s done Make some time to just have fun Always dress for the occasion And don’t ever forget your raising Limitation is no more than the sky I hope you get the most out of this life"

about

This week's assignment:

"What’s the one thing we all experience while alive… Getting Older. As such, the coming of age stories are literally a tale as old as time. They are also one of the most commonly used themes in songwriting and especially among the world of music synchronization. This week, your challenge is to write that coming-of-age/growing-up song that could be the backdrop for any coming of age movie. Good Luck!
