There was a time
When I was young
And everyone around me sang
About before
And how it's gone
Such a melancholy pang
And in that moment
All I could say
Was thank you all for this day
Togetherness, and simple things
With all hands held
And all hearts warm
Long ago
When we were young
We stood with people we once knew
Huddled close
And chasing dreams
Now the hopes have turned us blue
But now I wonder
If I am here
Taking it for granted still
Togetherness, and simple things
With all hands held
And all hearts warm
As we face
The life we make
I only hope you heed these words
Make a choice
And stand your ground
Holding out at every turn
Whatever happens
Please promise me
That you will hold the time you have
Close at heart, in gentle arms
With all hands held
And all hearts warm
Listen, I never ask for very much
But with a touch
Please understand
We may be finite
But our actions are forever
Listen, see days and weeks and years go by
Don't say goodbye
No, not just yet
Fate is but the course you set for you
