Our Lives

Keaggy

My, how the days have gone by
Did we sing, did we laugh, did we cry?
Again, there's a year left behind
Did we rush, did we care to take time?

Time for old, forgotten people who look
To the older ones to be their eyes
To inspire and to cheer
Hold a hand and draw near to the wise

Can we count the lessons that we've learned
When love's a gift how then can it be earned
Have we finally found the meaning to our lives

We soon recall to mind
The days we'd gladly shoulder
Each other's burdens and hold hands
The old were once so very young
But they grew older
The children changed with every passing glance

Here, passing through space and time
Did we think that we could tow our own line?
Who said there's no God to be found?
You're misled, He is all around

Round the corner there are children
Who look to the older ones to be their guide
To inspire and to cheer
Hold a hand and draw near to their side

Can we count the lessons that we've learned
When love's a gift how then can it be earned
Have we finally found the meaning to our lives
