Like Yesterday

I got a silver tongue,
but no words to say.
I got a winning shot,
but no game to play.
I got a key to her heart,
(but no lock of my own).
Have unlimited time,
with nowhere to go.

I got the gift of sight,
but no view to see.
I've got a mind of thoughts,
full of disbelief.
I've got a ticket to ride,
(but no reason to leave).
Have the passion and will,
but to what degree?

We take our place,
along with grace,
upon the stage,
But the roar of youth becomes a whisper with age.

We dwell among things,
we lost on the way
Never guessed this could be.
And never thought forever,
could feel just like yesterday.

I am the early bird,
with no worm to catch.
I'm leaping steps ahead,
but lost my safety net.
I feel I'm part of a whole,
(but now I'm all alone).
Days could turn into years,
and I wouldn't know.

I've got an open road,
but no drive to go.
A heart that beats so fast,
when I take it slow.
I've got the end goal in sight,
(no blinders blocking me).
Still I will risk it all, just you wait and see.

We take our place,
along with grace,
upon the stage
But the roar of youth becomes a whisper with age.

We dwell among things,
we lost on the way,
Never guessed this could be.
And never thought forever,
could feel just like yesterday.
