eager of the years (m. amador)
higher - out fall/winter 2007!
back when i was young,
a school girl having fun,
confidence was won
before a doubt had found me.
somehow i had seen
the future that was me,
so enchantedly life had bound me.
eager of the years, i was so eager of the years
living life so high,
knowing time was with me.
then when i had grown,
somehow i had known
that i had no voice to bring out what’s inside me.
blindly reaching out,
clawing at the ground,
looking for the way to realize me.
lost in all the years, i was so lost in all the years,
hoping that the future
would come along and find me.
lost in all the years, i was so lost in all the years,
praying that the future
would come along and find me.
then in my despair
i saw her standing there,
living out my dreams,
she was everything i longed to be.
she had made her way,
an orchestra from clay,
the siren of her day,
my heartbeat was without me.
jealous of her years,
i was so jealous of her years,
watching all my fears,
well on up inside me.
then much later on,
somehow i moved on,
i was on my way
making the most of each and every day
remembered what i’d known
and realized i’d grown
i was on my own
and time was living with me.
living in these years
i’m just living in these years
living life so high
knowing time is with me.
