I am an old soul I never asked for explorers to progress I never asked for inventors to invent I never asked for science to discover or scholars to detect I never asked to go from Steamers to engines I never wanted to trade vinyl for headphones But I’d always trade city lights for a mountain range A worn out skyline for an open plane Why do we complicate our lives in attempt to make them simple? And why has living simply, become to most something trivial I am raptured in this soul that refuses to age In times that are always persistent to change "Old Soul" -JP

Old Soul
I am an old soul I never asked for explorers to progress I never asked for inventors to invent I never asked for science to discover or scholars to detect I never asked to go from Steamers to engines I never wanted to trade vinyl for headphones But I’d always trade city lights for a mountain range A worn out skyline for an open plane Why do we complicate our lives in attempt to make them simple? And why has living simply, become to most something trivial I am raptured in this soul that refuses to age In times that are always persistent to change "Old Soul" -JP
