When I was younger, I was thinking if I had myself a home,

But the people were all thinking of what day it first would snow.

When I was young, I fought to see if I had a choice,

But the people were just praying in their loudest holy voice.

When I was older, I was keen on driving anywhere,

But the people were all eating in their family rooms with care.

When I was younger than I am now, I didn’t understand

That the people always love you, no matter what you hold in hand.

Now I am at the perfect age to see all my mistakes,

But the people will not care. They’ll love you and they’ll take it all away.
