Reflecting Forward Lyrics

Oh, these bones, they creak and groan

Like ancient wood 'neath heavy stone

The days they pass, a fleeting breeze, and breeze

And time, it brings us to our knees

But in the cracks of this old frame

There's wisdom earned, not idle blame

The mirror shows a face that's lined

Yet in those lines, what tales I find

Why fret the passing of the years?

For in this life, no room for fears

The seeds we've sown, now they grow tall

Our children's laughter, the sweetest call

So raise a glass to what we've done

The battles fought, the victories won

Midlife's no curse, but a well-worn song

Where love and hope, they still belong

The nights grow long, the hair turns gray

But here I stand, no price to pay

The time I gave, the dreams I chased

Now bloom in fields I once embraced

For every ache, a memory made

Of days when youth began to fade

Yet in those moments, strength was found

A life well-lived, on solid ground

And when the night is dark and cold

I find a warmth in tales retold

For all the roads that led me here

I hold them close, they're ever dear

Why fret the passing of the years?

For in this life, no room for fears

The seeds we've sown, now they grow tall

Our children's laughter, the sweetest call

So raise a glass to what we've done

The battles fought, the victories won

Midlife's no curse, but a well-worn song

Where love and hope, they still belong

So let these years, they pass with grace

For in their wake, a warm embrace

No crisis here, just life's sweet tune

Beneath the sun, beneath the moon.
