When i was younger
I often wondered
Where i’d be right now
What i’d see by now
Would i be
Standing proud
Or would i regret
Decisions made?
Never was i one
For sittin’ long
Always had to be
Up and on my feet
Reaching
Beyond my means
For something different
Always different
Never the same
When i think of all the twists and turns
Along the way i learn
Most of the good times are unexpected
And i come to appreciate
Oh, the mystery of fate
They say it’s not the years
It’s the miles
Each one different
Always different
Never the same
As i grew older
And became bolder
I could never satisfy
My restless side
And it took me
Far and wide
To discover
That it’s ok
You cannot force
The natural course
Of the leaf that floats
The river’s coat
To the ocean’s
Highs and lows
Old mccartney
Says let it be
When i think of all the twists and turns
Along the way i learn
Most of the good times are unexpected
And i come to appreciate
Oh, the mystery of fate
They say it’s not the years
It’s the miles
Each one different
Always different
Never the same
Oh, each one different
Always different
Never the same
