Getting Older

by Eve Decker

I keep getting more grey hair and the lines around my eyes surprise me

Don’t have the energy I once had, a quiet night at home satisfies me.

This good old body is slowing down and having more pain

This good old mind is still having fun running it’s games

These changes could scare me, but why fear the truth

Each day is a miracle, this moment fresh and new

This body reminds me that all things must change

Love and let go, love and let go, is the body's refrain

I’m getting older, it’s alright , it’s alright , it’s alright

Yeah getting older, it’s alright , it’s alright, it’s alright

You’re getting older too, it’s alright it’s alright, it’s alright

It’s just something bodies do (end: everybody do)

The little children, they change more quickly than I

Right now she is five years old soon she’ll be six, ten, twelve, twenty-five

And the daisy chain goes round and round,

And the petals fall on sacred ground

Chorus

Bridge:

The children and the day I’ll die, this body and it’s changing tides

Stay awake so I’ll know, be here now for the show

Keep on loving, keep on letting go

Chorus
