Rain dances across my windshield
Each drop falls with it's own distinct note
Sounds of rolling thunder and distant clap
I sit stationary and remote
The winds blow often
Sometimes with a subtle tone of change
As the old is washed away by new
With burdens of time on my hands
My mind can't help but drift too
Memories of childhood
A time wrapped in such innocense
To the first sting of pain
Reality of a loved one's loss
Days that seemed to last forever
Into the hot summer nights too
Laying beside the radio singing
Until our faces were blue
Oh how those memories they fade
As the years march on
Each day speeding faster
Where has all the time gone
The world has lost some mystery
As certain truths are lived true
The daily grind has taken it's toll
Do you feel it too
We must pick our remaining moments carefully
Making the most out of every chance
It's a careful balance of progress
One step forward, two steps back
Like a dance
How do we unbind these chains
Chains of our conscious voice
To live more carefree and leave my life to chance
That is my choice
