I have never before posted lyrics to a song, but there's always a first, right?
How many times have you heard someone say
If I had money, I would do things my way.
But little they know, that it's so hard to find
One rich man in ten, with a satisfied mind.
Money can't buy back all your youth when you're old
A friend when you're lonely, or peace to your soul.
The wealthiest person is a pauper at times
Compared to the man with a satisfied mind.
When my life is over, and my time has run out,
My friends and my loves, I will leave, there's no doubt.
But one thing's for certain, when it comes my time,
I'll leave this old world with a satisfied mind...
I feel old when I think that my friends could die. I don't like to think about it, I think, because people go on forever, right? There's some cliche quote that I think goes something like... live each day like it's the last, but dream like you'll live forever? I wonder how many of us do that without knowing... or how many of us do only half of that. I think I just think everything will go on forever. No wonder change always surprises me...
Things change so suddenly... and somehow, in retrospect, things make sense. Irony gets us all, I think.
I don't think I'm coherent, but... I'm sad. Are people I've lost touch with the equivalent of dead to me? I mean, they might as well be, right? Regrets really suck. I want to minimise them. Someone who really earned my admiration definitely lived larger than life. I want to be like that. I want to pack as much life into whatever time I have. That way, nothing is too little. Now my only question is how :)
