Life Begins at Forty Lyrics

He ran through the years like a wild, restless flame

Chasing thrills, never asking his name

Forty years gone in the blink of an eye

He thought he knew it all, but it was a lie

The nights were long, the laughter was loud

But deep down inside, he was lost in the crowd

He searched for meaning in the fast lane's roar

But what was it all really for?

Life begins when you know who you are

When you see past the bright, fleeting stars

Forty years of chasing the wind

But now he knows where to begin

He was blind, but now he can see

That life starts when you set yourself free

He looked in the mirror, saw lines on his face

A story of time, not a race to chase

The world slowed down, and he finally saw

The beauty in moments, in breaking the law

Of always running, of never standing still

Now he learns the art of his own will

The days aren't wasted in the search for more

He finds peace in things he used to ignore

Now he knows the truth in the quiet of night

That real life is found in the simple light

Life begins when you know who you are

When you see past the bright, fleeting stars

Forty years of chasing the wind

But now he knows where to begin

He was blind, but now he can see

That life starts when you set yourself free

He thought life was fast cars and crowded streets

But now it's the rhythm of his heart's beats

He thought success was in all he could claim

But now he knows, it's in more than just a name

At forty, he's learned to breathe and to smile

To walk his own path, mile after mile

The years that are left, he'll live them with grace

For now, he's found his true place

He was blind, but now he can see

That life starts when you set yourself free

At forty, he's learned to breathe and to smile

To walk his own path, mile after mile

The years that are left, he'll live them with grace

For now, he's found his true place.
