G. Edward McBride - Age of Time

from Round 7, Week 3 by Monday Morning 3AM Music Club

/

about

A little on the softer side this week... I'm no longer feeling "22" as the challenge indicates. I guess I'm in mid-life but I have finally realized that my youth is gone. Mentally I'm young but physically it is impossible to do the things I used to do at a young person's level. This song is about realizing your youth is gone and understanding the things you have lost BUT embracing what you DO have for your future.

lyrics

These bones are aching, this body's breaking
My mind is lying, my spirit's trying
As I approach, the coming dawn
I realize that youth is gone

When things turn to gray, the eye hesitates
The mountain is too high, for me to dignify
The clock is calling us to carry-on
And I realize that youth is gone

It's not time for goodbye, just awakening of life
It's just the end of prime, but it's still daytime
Find your sea to sail upon
And realize that youth is gone
