when I was younger and now that i am older
started out in the womb and i'll end in the tomb.
Never understood that when i was younger,
and I still don't understand why that has to be done.
I lived every day in a different state, country, world, and even an entirely differnt universe.
Now here I am barely living, never would have understood that feeling when I was younger.
Never could have seen myself like that when I was younger.
When I was younger, everything was possible.
When I was younger, I actuslly saw this in everyone that grew up.
When I was younger, I wanted to be the change that showed up.
Now that I am older, I see myself in every one.
Now that I am older, I am the change that finally showed up.
I am young while I am old seeing how everything and nothing has changed.
