Old Enough

Never thought I'd live to be old enough To be old enough to feel like this And never thought I'd figure it out enough To be loud enough to make you listen On and on the meadows sing We ring out merry the view On and on my conscience blared And shared my longing for you Never thought I'd live to be old enough To be bold enough to make a difference Never thought I'd figure it out enough To be proud enough to take my mission Never thought I'd live to be smart enough To have heart enough to find a better way Never thought I'd live to be old enough To have soul enough to pa*s perdition Never thought I'd count up the years enough To be clear enough on my convictions Life ain't all it claims to be It clings to me when it's blue Life brought all its pain to me And shamed my longing for you Never thought I'd live to be old enough To be told enough to lose the bullies Never thought I's to learn enough To be firm enough to live life fully Never thought I'd live to be strong enough To be young enough to find a better song Then you came along Never thought I'd live to be old enough
