Young today, grey hairs tomorrow Great big smiles soon turn to sorrow Wining today you’ve wiped them all clean 2 more hand you down to the green King of your world with your rubies and sapphires But soon your royalty will have to retire Sun beaming through cloudless blue skies But the clouds soon swarm round like a dozen black flies Silent and dreaming Soon sweating and screaming Laughing and playing Soon crying and praying Running and jumping Soon falling and thumping
Change is happening all around Anywhere you look change can be found But it's dealing with this that we all can't handle When something changes we think it’s a scandal We weren’t expecting for it to go away Why couldn’t the pleasure, the ecstasy stay But now it's gone we want it more And we’ll keep on trying till we fall to the floor But this feeling is natural it won't go away Man's constant desire to be truly happy So the best thing to do is accept this change And don’t look upon it as if it were strange Just pass it by and ignore all the strife For life is too short not to live life
