Winter ended you were born into troubled times
The world was new for you you'd soon be searching for your light
Growing pains they grew away as you tried to find your voice
But in your search for harmony you had to make another choice
Now you're grown, fighting the world on your own
Hate to say that I'm living your dream
Feeling the road beneath my feet
In search of a melody
It's all in the cards and how they fall
Without them I would not at all
Have the hope or wherewithal
To live that dream and yours
It came to me a half century further down the line
The contrasts they wouldn't last, I could only empathize
With the way you felt each day and the pull between your worlds
The story now became what's next and not what had been heard
Now I'm grown, finding the world out on my own
Hate to say that I'm living your dream
Feeling the road beneath my feet
In search of a melody
It's all in the cards and how they fall
Without them I would not at all
Have the hope or wherewithal
To live that dream and yours
And as we keep looking back
At the seasons that have past, I ask
Have I played out of turn
Have I been using your cards long enough to learn
Now I'm grown, finding the world out on my own
Hate to say that I'm living your dream
Feeling the road beneath my feet
In search of a melody
It's all in the cards and how they fall
Without them I would not at all
Have the hope or wherewithal
To live that dream
It feels like the summers are turning to fall
Faster than I could ever recall
But the light I choose to follows still the same
As yours
