Song Du Jour

Another morning comes
Another chance to get it right
Another evening falls
Looks like I lost another fight
Younger while older
My fire's getting colder each day
Heart keeps on beating
As life is retreating
I keep slipping even as I'm climbing
I keep falling every time I rise
Reaching upward I am moving downward
All my wisdom makes me so unwise
Just like a baby
I can't see an end to my days (end to my days)
And I keep pretending
But cheating the piper never pays
Younger but older
My fire's getting colder each day
Heart keeps on beating
As life is retreating
I keep slipping even as I'm climbing
I keep falling every time I rise
Reaching upward I am moving downward
All my wisdom cuts me down to size
Give me a ticket
To a place where I'm not in control
I need a hand to hold
The other half to make me whole
Out there it's somewhere
When I find my way there I'll know
Heart keeps on beating
But I'm not retreating
Tired of slipping even as I'm climbing
No more falling every time I rise
Looking downward I am moving upward
Out there it's somewhere
When I find my way there I'll know
Tired of slipping even as I'm climbing
No more falling every time I rise
Looking downward I am moving upward
Looking downward I am moving upward
