Do you live each day as if it were your last,
Or do you hang on to yesterday and keep bringing up the past?
Are you trying to stay young and hang onto your youth,
Or are you just a little afraid to face the flat, out truth?
 
You've had a lot of chances, to take a different road,
A lot of times you chose the one with a little lighter load.
None of it was easy and there were times when you were lost,
But you never gave up trying, no matter what the cost.
 
You've done what you could do and there's no way to return,
To your youth of yesterday, just remember what you learned.
It's time you realized that you can't keep up the pace,
There's a new generation, that's going to take your place.
 
You won't be forgotten, you've left your mark everywhere,
It's time to give the young, the burdens they must bear.
