Shades
You've drawn your curtains
And pulled your shades
Turned all your lights down low
Wishing after yesterday
Wondering where'd it go
You get on stage and take a bow
As you recall your youth
When everything was new to you
And dreams could still come true
Those were the days you can't forget
The world belonged to you
As you looked down from the clouds
And enjoyed the view
Challenges you took up quick
You stuck by your guns
'Til you grew tired of it all
And began to run
The beliefs branded in your heart
Were burned inside so deep
And you'd not go down without a fight
Your beliefs you meant to keep
Remove the shades from your eyes
Throw caution to the wind
All your curtains open wide
Turn your lights up once again
Stop wishing after yesterday
You've only grown older
What you were, you still are
Just wiser and much bolder
