Afternoon of life
In the morning, I was proud and young
Built my tower, for all to see
Pulled on all the grass to make it grow
Hustling and yearning, all those rules to keep
Now the shadows grow across the plains
And a cooler wind is rustling the leaves
The sun is weary, alone up in the sky
And longs to return to the fields
This is the afternoon of life
Time of simplicity and quiet meaning
Smile back at the frenzy and just start being
No more ambition and strife
Welcome to the afternoon of life
Now the trees bend low with ripened fruit
And clouds hang down with gentle rain
I jumped off my tower, listened and watched
And I realized it's all okay
I cannot say how, but I can say yes
Breathed by the Great I Am
At last I've arrived where I started from
And know the place for the first time
This is the afternoon of life
Time of simplicity and quiet meaning
Smile back at the frenzy and just start being
No more ambition and strife
Welcome to the afternoon of life
Built my tower, for all to see
Pulled on all the grass to make it grow
Hustling and yearning, all those rules to keep
Now the shadows grow across the plains
And a cooler wind is rustling the leaves
The sun is weary, alone up in the sky
And longs to return to the fields
This is the afternoon of life
Time of simplicity and quiet meaning
Smile back at the frenzy and just start being
No more ambition and strife
Welcome to the afternoon of life
Now the trees bend low with ripened fruit
And clouds hang down with gentle rain
I jumped off my tower, listened and watched
And I realized it's all okay
I cannot say how, but I can say yes
Breathed by the Great I Am
At last I've arrived where I started from
And know the place for the first time
This is the afternoon of life
Time of simplicity and quiet meaning
Smile back at the frenzy and just start being
No more ambition and strife
Welcome to the afternoon of life
