When I was young I couldn’t wait

For life to change, to hurry up

I tried to make things go my way

I forced my will, I filled my cup

So many times I lost control

Of what I thought should be my choice

I couldn’t see or accept the truth

That I was but one man, one voice

In the clamor of this world, and in our heads

It’s easy to forget we’re not alone

Caught up in our wanting and regretting

Looking ahead, behind, not seeing what’s shown

Now I’m older and I realize

All I desire means nothing without you

My life, my heart, my soul searching

Is not about me — it’s about the connections I renew

No future, no past, no fear or longing

Only here and now, sharing our uncertainty

We are given who we are, together we rise

Everything is just as it is meant to be.
