Seems as we age we tend to wander back to yesterday
Our memories cling to personal things of times now far away
As one by one Life calls us out we move on up the queue
Towards the space left empty by the loved ones we once knew

If there's one thing I know is that I really don't know much
Although my moments may all hang about with life and such
It's very clear to me in living life there's just one chance
I simply let it go and let whatever lead the dance

Acceptance of that profound fact that what will be will be
Is really not a hardship knowing what will come to me
I've lived my life in moments and tried hard to live it well
Could I have done it better? - whatever - only time will tell

However I believe we're born with destinies in place
We may think we are in control but friends that's not the case
One journey ends, another starts,our spirits endless roam
We simply close our eyes and let whatever take us home.
