This morning I woke up one day older
To find out a little white hair on my shoulder
Then it got me thinking about life and death
And all the things I haven't done yet
I can't get in my head that there's a finish line
And no matter if I play or if I hide
Sooner or later, I will find myself
Standing on the edge of the last step
When my body won't follow my mind
And I've seen tears and joy world wide
When the best of times can only be found behind
Well then I guess, I'll be ready to rest
Maybe then I'll understand, why it has to end
As the grander plan will show me its last hand
Tomorrow I'll wake up next to my to do list
Of the things I have to do before the trip
I don't to want miss on a single dream
I'd like to live them all before I leave
When my body won't follow my mind
And I've seen tears and joy world wide
When the best of times can only be found behind
Well then I guess, I'll be ready to rest
Maybe then I'll understand, why it has to end
As the grander plan will show me its last hand
The man in the mirror doesn't look like me
I could swear not so long ago I was seventeen
I was bold and ready with all the time in front of me
Now my body won't follow my mind
I've seen tears and joy world wide
And the best of times can only be found behind
Well now I guess, I am ready to rest
Now I understand, why it has to end
The grander plan can show me its last hand
