The years are going by swiftly
I wonder how many more I'll get
Stray white hairs gleaning in the sun
I notice them coming, one by one

Where has my youth gone?
Has time somehow done me wrong?
I watch my children growing older
The fire inside me has turned to smolder

Yet I find somewhere deep inside
I am still that same young girl
that I was so many years ago
I have much to accomplish before I go

Please, if there is a god
I ask that you set me on the correct path
I know I have so much to give
I want to know before I go that I did live
