More Lyrics

What a slap in the face to arrive at an age

Where new losses mount, and old triumphs fade

With the feeling of time slowly slipping away

And with so much to do in what little remains.

The photographs fade, but the memories endure

As we mourn for the people we thought that we were

And long for the wonder we had in our eyes

Young strangers to heartache, strangers to compromise

More days behind than I have left ahead

More things to do than I have time to spend

More love to give than I have tears to shed

More road to walk before I can find rest

More lessons to learn for me to feel wise

For me to feel brave, there's more battles to fight

For me to feel strong, there's more burdens to bear

For me to feel worthy more kindness to share

The times we thought endless are over and done

Did we think halcyon days would all outlast the sun

'Cause they're crumbling like castles to memory's tide

What a shame realization's so slow to arrive

One notion come lately's a sobering taunt

That the last thought I'll have is "I could have done more"

More limits to test, more rules to be bent

More bridges to build, more fences to mend.

More days behind than I have left ahead

More things to do than I have time to spend

More love to give than I have tears to shed

More road to walk before I can find rest

Yeah there's more dreams to chase before I can find peace

More nights to endure before I can know sleep

More mountains to climb, more deserts to cross

More rivers to ford until I find the source.

More lessons to learn for me to feel wise

For me to feel brave, there's more battles to fight

For me to feel strong, there's more burdens to bear

For me to feel worthy more kindness to share
