Soon Be Gone
[2019-10-11]
[V]
now that I've gotten older
see the world with clearer eyes.
no longer clouded by innocence,
that there's many more colours to the sky.
[C]
oh! I can still see the beauty.
but now also see what's going on.
that without making life changes.
all that I have will soon be gone.
[V]
now that I've gotten older.
hear and listen to the cries.
cries that have always been present,
ignored by most as they die.
[C]
oh! I still hear the sweet music.
but now hear how the melody's gone wrong.
what once I believed would last forever,
now I know what I have might soon be gone.
[Break]
[B]
theres still, still sweet music.
but the beauty is being torn away.
I do my part like so many others.
but those with power still have their say.
[C]
now that I've gotten older
see, hear and feel what's goin' on.
believe my little bit makes a difference,
keeps what I have from being gone.
[Tag]
so all that I have will not soon be gone.
