The years have passed by
In the blink of an eye
Moments of sadness
And joy have flown by

Life wasn't easy
And the struggles were there
Filled with times that it mattered
Times I just didn't care

I stood on my own
And I still found my way
Through some nights filled with tears
And the dawn of new days

And now with old age
It's become very clear
Things I once found important
Were not why I was here

And what's really important
Is my opinion of me
And whether or not
I'm the best I can be

And how much more KINDNESS
And LOVE I can show
Before the Lord tells me
It's my time to go...
