Changes

Every life must have a reason

So I thought the story goes

Just holding onto dreams now

As reality steals the show

Wisdom such an asset

But it's gained too late in life

The prize of youth without control

Just the blade but not the knife

The dawn of life I've waited long to see

Now the figure of resentment

This is not how I thought it would be

The challenge is here

Don't say what you fear

What's over the hill do you know

No longer the child once where so wild

Wait for the hold man to show

Though I've slept through

All of these years

A cog that turns another

Am I clockwork puppeteer

The treadmill of surviving

I'm still spinning round and round

The motions I'm use to

That I need no sight nor sound

The dawn of life I've waited long to see

Now the figure of resentment

This is not how I thought it would be

Can't you see

The challenge is here

Don't say what you fear

What's over the hill do you know

No longer the child once where so wild

Wait for the hold man to show

The truth in the eyes still wear the disguise

For the wonders you may never see

It's high time to fear the final frontier

The face in the crowd is now me

I painted life by numbers

Every color mixed so true

But how could I paint a rainbow

When all I saw it's was blue

The picture now is drying

As I wipe dust from the frame

A lifetime's picture is complete

But the canvas is so plain still so plain

I see challenge

What's over the hill do you know

Wait for the hold man to show

I see challenge challenge

What's over the hill do you know

I see challenge
