This is It When I was young before I forgot I thought I had better get what I had not So thought a lot more and what I got Is this is it and I had better get it Or if not then always regret it But I did so I got rid of ties that bind Let it all go along with my mind Left what I had lost as what it cost behind I had to grow so I had to go On when life went on then because I had to Find out who I was and what to do About it and found out I had to go through A lot but I got to go on too To learn as it turns out what I had to know Is from is not and now from then but In the confusion of now with then again To see now through illusion then at What an ever stranger time see how to be Nevertheless only strange for me As what never was before but I recall Change rearranging reality For me though strange at first to be changing that Brought me through the worst of madness fear And sadness to strangely be how I got here Now better strangely than not at all In interesting times interestingly Enough for me to see what I see Things changed but I found out who I am and what To do about it to not regret Living through a lot and not giving up yet Glad to be if I had to be when Now is forever but never then again What I had to tell you before I forget Now when I am old is this is it Steven Curtis Lance
