YESTERDAY I PASSED A MILESTONE

I'VE BEEN ON FIFTY EIGHT TRIPS AROUND THE SUN

EVERYTHING'S CHANGED, NOTHING'S THE SAME 

EXCEPT THE THINGS THAT NEVER CHANGE

LIKE A FULL MOON ON A CLEAR NIGHT

LIKE A ROLLING TIDE THAT NEVER STOPS

LIKE TEARS AND RAINDROPS

AND AS I WALK THROUGH THIS LIFE

TRYING TO MAKE SENSE OF IT ALL

ALL THE TIMES I MADE IT, AND HAD TO FALL

I ALWAYS GOT BACK UP AND CARRIED ON

AS THOUGH THERE WASN'T ANYTHING WRONG

JUST ANOTHER PIECE OF ME GONE

I'VE BEEN LONELY I'VE BEEN OCCUPIED 

I'VE BEEN FAR AND WIDE

I'VE HAD SOMETHING AND I'VE HAD NOTHING AT ALL

I'VE SEEN LOVE COME AND GO SO MANY TIMES 

I QUESTION WHAT IT IS

RE-DEFINED WATERED DOWN

FADED AWAY UNTIL IT WAS GONE

I'D LIKE TO SAY THAT IT DOESN'T DEFINE ME

BUT NOW I'M NOT SO SURE

WE ALL GROW BUT SOMETIMES IT'S HARD TO LET GO

THE WORLD CAN BE A COLD HARD PLACE

SOMETHING YOU'VE STILL GOT TO FACE

WHEN THINGS GET ALL TURNED AROUND

YOU FEEL THE WORLD LET YOU DOWN

MAYBE YOU SIT THERE AND CRY

AS YOU TRY TO FIGURE OUT WHY

OUT OF YOUR SYSTEM, TAKE A DEEP BREATH

TAKE A STEP BACK, SEE WHERE YOU'VE BEEN

NOW IT'S TIME TO MOVE FORWARD AGAIN

AS I MAKE MY WAY THROUGH THIS CRAZY LIFE

FORTUNE ELUDES ME, AND THINGS AREN'T GOING AS PLANNED

YESTERDAY SEEMED SO EASY, TODAY SEEMS SO HARD

BUT I WON'T BE TURNED ASIDE, WON'T BE DENIED

KARMA'S ON MY SIDE 

I COUNT EACH BLESSING, BESTOWED ON ME

NOW IT'S MY TIME, LET THINGS FALL INTO PLACE

WITH CERTAINTY, POISE AND GRACE 

#58 REFERS TO MY LAST BIRTHDAY, 58 YRS OLD,BORN IN 1958

THANKS FOR COMING BACK
