.

Steep those muscles in blood,
Child
Shine that skin through love.

Wrestle in the mud,
Child
Sift out all that death
and blush--

These fingers, tapping time away
Are not as young as they once were
And may I tell you gently?
I'm scared I may
Have lost my touch.

If you can manage moving
Another soul to love...
Don't hesitate to do it
While you still have the chance.

The road gets steeper up ahead--
I thought that you should know...
Today's the day to spring to life
Let's go let's go let's go!
