Sometimes I sit and just reflect, look back upon my life And consider all the moments as they pass before my eyes
People they have come and gone but some have stuck around And they're the ones I'll treasure most 'til I am in the ground
Lessons they have taught me each and every one And for them I am grateful I love them every one
I have friends that I remember and friends I now forget Experiences both good and bad but none that I regret
For all the things that I have done have brought me this place Where I sit now and look back at how I ran the race
At times I've looked out on the world from a less than happy place I have loved and I have lived You can see it in my face
So thank you all to everyone who's path my life has crossed You became part of my journey And stopped me getting lost
