Old Enough
Never thought I’d live to be old enoughTo be old enough to feel like this andNever thought I’d figure it out enoughTo be loud enough to make you listenOn and on the meadows singThey ring out merry the viewOn and on my conscience blaredAnd shared my longing for youNever thought I’d live to be old enoughTo be bold enough to make a differenceNever thought I’d figure it out enoughTo be proud enough to take my missionNever thought I’d live to be smart enoughTo have heart enough to find a better wayNever thought I’d live to be old enoughTo have soul enough to pass perditionNever thought I’d count up the years enoughTo be clear enough on my convictionsLife ain’t all it claims to beIt clings to me when it’s blueLife brought all its pain to meAnd shamed my longing for youNever thought I’d live to be old enoughLetras de cancionesTo be told enough to lose the bulliesNever thought I’s able to learn enoughTo be firm enough to live life fullyNever thought I’d live to be strong enoughTo be young enough to find a better songThen you came alongNever thought I’d live to be old enough...
