Mother said Don't go outside It's dangerous But with age I learned she's right Because at first you think you're safe Go outside run around that bay At least 'til kids learn of privilege And you start dodging rocks instead It's all about the timing It's a random race Anything could happen suddenly Oh, well I wish I had a little more influence But most things I can't change Pulling off the ramp ahead at about 45 Age five and someone came speeding behind Not much I can do except enjoy the ride But like I said it's random at least I survived Is it real? I'm dying A little more everyday Is it real? I'm delighted Finally something that I can change It's all about the timing It's a random race Anything could happen suddenly Oh, well I wish I had a little more influence But most things I can't change It's all about the timing It's a random race Anything could happen suddenly Oh, well I wish I had a little more influence But most things I can't change I want it to change
