here i Am
now 21
learned all i need for a life thats just begun
i know the rules
old men are fools
and it takes 7 years for a year to be done

here i Am
past 42
all that i know now if only then i knew
tricked by time
now i find
that it takes just a year
for a year to be through

here i Am
as old as old
all sayings have been said
all stories have been told
taught by time
the greatest crime is to
live less than a year
when a year has unrolled

less than a year when a year has unrolled
