A Year to Go By

Here I am

10 years have I

Watch me run, watch me play, watch me cry

Time has no time

The world is mine

And it takes 10 years for a year to go by

Here I am

Now 21

Learned all I need for a life that's just begun

I know the rules

Old men are fools

And it takes 7 years

For a year to be done

Here I am

Past 42

All that I know now if only then I knew

Tricked by time

Now I find

That it takes just a year

for a year to be through

Here I am

As old as old

All sayings have been said

All stories have been told

Taught by time

The greatest crime is to

Live less than a year

when a year has unrolled

Less than a year

when a year has unrolled
