Just the other day

Just the other day it seems, I was still a kid
Care free in everything I did
Finding comfort in my parents' home
Not giving a thought to a future of my own


But these days are gone
No more pillars in my life
Preventing the sky from falling
Preventing the world from crumbling


Just the other day it seems, I was so passionate
Saw everything as black or white
Willing to sacrifice to a cause
Moving on when it lost its awe


But these days are gone
No more pillars in my life
Preventing the sky from falling
Preventing the world from crumbling

Just the other day is seems, I was fathering
Bringing new life into this world
No longer at the center
Blissful and solemn


But these days are gone
No more pillars in my life
Preventing the sky from falling
Preventing the world from crumbling


In just a few days, I will be old
Watching life slowly halt
Not sure where I will be
Just hoping to be the sum of me
