anniversary

they heard me scream from the top of my lungs
so they came to see what the yelling was all about
give me this moment, some other life
i am still young and i need to grow old

up the stairs and down the hall where they saw my hand
laying gently on the floor, didn't stand a chance
momma, she held me up to hold on tight
saying she is still young and she needs to grow old

mother
i will never be great
father
oh, one more time they hear the things you always say
brother
you'll grow up strong they'll help you rise
sister
will carry on to everyone's surprise

friends will come and friends will go, remembering me
light me like a candle on my anniversary
go on now i'm on my way
was this my life?
i am still young and i need to grow old
