Then between 13 and 17 I'd dreamed of all the things I'd be and how I'd see you all from high on a mountain and know I could take it Then between 19 and 21 I knew one day that I'd become someone And I'd stand up in front of a crowd and feel them adore me Then from 24 to 25 A girl I liked became my wife I tried It was harder than I'd ever imagined to keep all my dreams alive Then from 28 to 33 A new responsibility, a child And I worked hard to give her a home, to love and to shelter her Then from 44 to 48 I knew I'd left it far too late for sure To climb up the mountain 'cause time's always running away from me
