AS YEARS GO BY...


I look out the car window, as years go by;
looking at all the trees grow, like days that pass me by.
I look at my father’s face, as years go by;
an air of pride and elegance, and his love that never ends.
I look at my mother’s face, as years go by;
an air of beauty and grace, and her love that never ends.

Family comes first, being the ones who are always there;
the best friends being the ones who always share and care.
What makes a life? We’re all in the same game with one aim;
like my teachers and mentors, who all taught the same.
I look at myself, in every step along the way;
like the books on my shelf, telling stories written my way.
I look at my friends, being the ones that pave way;
memories like tales with no ends, telling stories written our way.

We are the dream, the ones running wild and free;
bursting at the seams, dreaming out loud and full of glee.
What makes a life? We hope and dream,
learning to love, learning to give,
for life is like a dream, filling our deeds with unending themes.

We came and we saw and we conquered,
for life is like a dream.
We make mistakes and they drive us forward,
for life is like a dream.
We love, we hate; we fight and embrace;
our footsteps still heard, our memories treasured,
for life is like a dream.

For life is like a dream, as time passes by,
we run wild and free, happiness is key.
For life goes on, as years go by,
we dare to dream, dreaming out loud as we can be.
