Traveled all day to get here tonight,
I’m surrounded by others as we wait for our flights
They come and go all around the world
People crying people hugging, lots of boys and girls,
What are they all doing here?
A man is seeing the family he hasn't seen in years,
He says goodbye, with lots of laughs and tears,
The children, they laugh, make the old folks smile,
They make it easier to wait when you've been there for awhile,
What are we all doing here?
Just sitting here stuck in time,
I decided to stop and write this rhyme,
A loved one died, a baby was born,
A young man is headed off to war,
So many lessons to be learned and stories to be told
Cause each day we’re growing up, yeah each day we’re getting old. So live it all.
There's a woman I see with a tear in her eye
A man holds her close as she tries not to cry
He waves goodbye as he walks on his plane
Then her tears pour down like a heavy spring rain
Why is he leaving her today
Now I see a young man in a suit and tie
Coming back from his time serving God on High
While his family waits there to greet him with love
Cause they all are so proud of the man he's become
So why not share in the love
Just sitting here stuck in time
I decided to stop and write this rhyme
A loved one died, a baby was born,
A young man is headed off to war,
So many lessons to be learned and stories to be told
Cause each day we’re growing up, yeah each day we’re getting old. So live it all.
(Soft)
Well we all will die, but our memories live on
We will have to fight in our own wars
I hope our lessons will be learned and our stories will be told
Cause we've finally grown up, yeah we've finally grown old
And lived it all
Well we all will die, but our memories live on
We will have to fight in our own wars
I hope our lessons will be learned and our stories will be told
Cause we've finally grown up, yeah we've finally grown old
Well we all will die, but our memories live on
We will have to fight in our own wars
I hope our lessons will be learned and our stories will be told
Cause we've finally grown up, yeah we've finally grown old
And lived it all
Yeah we lived it all
Oh lived it all
