THIS DAY

Living this pace                     
Running this race
Yet over your shoulder
Pictures in time
Games of the mind
We only get older
So I’ll try, yes I’ll try
Not to let this day go by.

Secrets we shared
Times when we cared
Some moments lie hidden
Loves come and gone
Hearts lost and won
The things that we wish we’d done
I’ll try, yes I’ll try
Not to let this day go by

Here within this sanctuary
Close the walls and doors around me
Stealing roles imaginary
Or contemplating, solitary
Childish how I wish I could be
Anything but me
Or even free.

If I have fear
It’s when I leave, my room will be empty
But for the courage
All that I need is here in my hands
So I’ll try           
Yes I’ll try, not to let this day go by
