Miles

When I was younger I often wondered Where I'd be right now What I'd see by now Would I be Standing proud Or would i regret Decisions made? Never was I one For Sitting long Always had to be Up and on my feet Reaching Beyond my means For something different Always different Never the same When I think of all the twists and turns Along the way I learn Most of the good times are unexpected And I come to appreciate Oh the mystery of fate They say its not the years Its the miles Each one different Always different Never the same As I grew older And became bolder I could never satisfy My restless side And it took me Far and wide To discover That it's ok You cannot force The natural course Of the leaf that floats The river's coast TO the ocean's Highs and lows Sir McCartney Says let it be When I think of all the twists and turns Along the way I learn Most of the good times are unexpected And I come to appreciate Oh, the mystery of fate They say it's not the year It's the miles Each one different Always different Never the same Oh, each one different Always different Never the same
