    LYRICS
    Might be slightly different i tend to change a few words when get into it ,
    Looking back on this life it's hard to understand ,how time just seems to fly when you are an older man
    whatever happened to all those dreams I had and all those crazy plans
    I never really got the chance to do, they just slipped right through my hands .
    Through my hands through my hands
    Looking back on all I've learned I still find it hard to tell , if there really is a heaven or if there really is a hell .
    It's an age old conversation that's been had since dawn began , but you just seem to spend more time on it when you're an older man ,
    an older man an older man
    and this could be the last song, the final swan song, before the curtain call
    I hope I played my part well for I know so well there will be no encores ,
    I often wonder what it is that we are all craving for, some kind of justification now our time is getting short ,
    is it intelligence or arrogance that makes us say there must be more
    we can't accept this could be it, and it leaves us so unsure
    They say that wisdom comes with age but that's not always the case
    and you'd be a fool to judge a wise man just by the lines upon his face
    I know i've done some stupid things some things I can't forget
    and no time left to try to put them right is the one thing I regret ,
    and this could be the last song, the final swan song, before the curtain call
    I hope I played my part well for I know so well there will be no encores ,

      Hey Katie. We don't know each other and we're probably way too many miles away, but I just wanted to tell you this.
      Reaching these age milestones is always scary. I'm 21, just a little older than you.
      But if I could go back 3 years I would say to myself: hey, girl, don't waste your time on something that will not matter some months or years from now. Also, please, pleeeeease, tell people how you feel. It could be seeking therapy if you need, or actually saying how appreciative you are of a friend, or just say you're in love with that person, shoot your shot.
      I once read "if you don't tell that person you love them before they go, they'll never know they could have a reason to stay". And that goes for every aspect of life.
      Going back to the age thing, you'll be scared of the 30's in the near future. It's just another milestone.
      Better yourself, take good care of people around you, exercise, work on soft skills not only towards a degree, maybe start a business if you want. And also relax, go to a karaoke, travel. Make memories on your own and with your friends and family too.
      And in case you want a long-distance friend, count me in 😊
      Much love from Brazil
      I hope you get everything you want in life

To all the young children or adults out there- do everything you want to do. Because one day you could die, and you want to look back in happiness, not in regret. Make memories, fall in love, get a dog, learn some music, be in a film, go to a carnival, sing a song, write a story, bake a cake, eat a pretzel, have a bonfire, walk down a cobblestone street- it's never too late to enjoy the small things in life and live the best you can. Remember- you're never too old to be happy.

I lost him when I was only 13 years old, I'm his first ever grandchild. He's more of a father to me than my own dad because my grandpa never left me alone since I was just a baby. I missed his humor, his laughter, him driving, him watching boxing, him a fan of technologies and him being my grandpa although he was mad sometimes because of our mistakes. He died a bit young, 68. So please don't stay mad to your grandpa for too long and apologize to him while you still can.

      I had a time around October 2021 where existing hit me all at once and I was afraid of time itself and my futile existence within its throes, but after some time, thought, and comfort from God (because I am a Christian and it did help me through), I am at a point where I’m content to exist. And if I blink, and suddenly I’ve jumped from 18 to 40, that’ll be ok, as long as I have good memories of the time, and have good memories of those I love. As long as I can love, and know I’ve loved (because God is love), time and death won’t scare me.
      Loving is living, at least to me. So if I’ve loved, then by golly have I lived.

      Last October I moved out to an apartment on my own. First time living alone and paying for my own stuff.
      Independent life has been good so far.
      It can indeed get hard sometimes but it is totally manageable.
      And yeah sometimes I don't feel like being an adult at all. But then I remember what I realized a couple of years ago: no adult really knows for sure what they're doing lol. They're literally just making it up as they go. Trying to do what they think it's the best.
      So I relax. I stop being so hard on myself and carry on however I see fit in the moment.
      Anything you chose is fine. Just own up to your actions, don't do harm and you will be fine.
      Enjoy your current life stage.
      Enjoy the present and the now.
      Everything will be ok :)

    Hi Frank!! I want to thank you for sharing with us this beautiful song of yours! I'm also turning 22 this year, so to hear this from you feels like a warm hug!
    My favorite lines are from the last part:
    "They say that wisdom comes with age but that's not always the case,
    And you'd be a fool to judge a wise just by the lines upon his face"
    Such a powerful principle! Yet, regardless of age, I've found that true wisdom and a true sense fulfillment comes from knowing Christ as our Father, Savior, and Friend. It's never too late to experience this kind of security and peace, as long as we're still alive.
    Jesus Christ loves humanity. And our relationship with Him was cut off when sin entered the world. That is why He came down on earth and died on the Cross to pay the price for our sins. Jesus Christ loves you, Frank! I hope you let Him enter your heart.
    You're a sweet soul. I wish you the best in life!!

      Hey I must admit I teared up hard while reading your comment, I too dealt with suicidal thoughts some time back, I even went as far as to act in those thoughts and it wasn’t until I was in the hospital wondering if I was going to die that night that I started thinking back and seeing the beauty in the life that I had been living, I was so focused on everything that would go wrong for me that I could never pay mind to all the wonderful things that I had at the time, life is a precious gift and it took extreme measures for me to be able to realize that, it’s truly unfortunate that this happens to so many people nowadays, all I can say is keep making the best of what you have, I don’t know what situations you experience in your daily life but keep that mentality of wanting to grow old and have children and grandchildren. There’s a quote out there that states “life is ironic, it takes depression to know happiness, it takes stress to understand calm and it takes absence to value presence”. A tough truth to swallow but I have found this to be true.

      My theory is that perception of time is (time observed passing)/(total lifetime). So a year at 9 years old is 11% of your life! But at 50, a year is just 2%. It's a sliver. That's how the mind wraps itself around time passing.

    As a young person listening to this, I feel so sad yet determined to pursue the things I want while I'm able to... I have a feeling I'll come back to listen again throughout the rest of my life

    This is a good song, because it speaks about your soul, it is who you are. The lyrics themselves reminisces your life, and it feels real.

    I find myself coming back to this song a lot.
