It's a beautiful morning
I hear you say as you pull back the curtains
And the sunlight hits your face
It caresses all the lines and cracks
Battle scars from ageing's attacks
Your defensive lines that are faltering back in steady retreat
It's then I forget just where I was when the knife thrust
And I lost touch with the people
Places and things that I love and got lost in this
But you can't live a life blunted by decisions already made
Nor can you live a life stunted by decisions you're yet to make
Though the years take their toll with the height of stories untold
Accept there are some things you'll never know
That life simply unfolds
It's a beautiful morning, yet another passing day
In which everyone just keeps going on
Living their lives whilst you fret yours away
But you can't live a life blunted by decisions already made
Nor can you live a life stunted by decisions you're yet to make
'Cos it's the road not taken that haunts the most
The untrodden path through fresh undergrowth
Though the years take their toll with the height of stories untold
Accept there are some things you'll never know
That life simply unfolds
When it feels like nothing's gonna change
Know that nothing stays the same
The only constant in life is change
You'll never live this moment again
