Old Enough

Never thought I'd live to be old enough

To be old enough to feel like this

And never thought I'd figure it out enough

To be loud enough to make you listen

On and on the meadows sing

We ring out merry the view

On and on my conscience blared

And shared my longing for you

Never thought I'd live to be old enough

To be bold enough to make a difference

Never thought I'd figure it out enough

To be proud enough to take my mission

Never thought I'd live to be smart enough

To have heart enough to find a better way

Never thought I'd live to be old enough

To have soul enough to pass perdition

Never thought I'd count up the years enough

To be clear enough on my convictions

Life ain't all it claims to be

It clings to me when it's blue

Life brought all its pain to me

And shamed my longing for you

Never thought I'd live to be old enough

To be told enough to lose the bullies

Never thought I's to learn enough

To be firm enough to live life fully

Never thought I'd live to be strong enough

To be young enough to find a better song

Then you came along

Never thought I'd live to be old enough
