The Lyrics in the song are good but the meaning of the Song itself is even better, basically its a run through of life from being a child to growing up learning lifes lessons and the Struggles we each have with our own Mentality as we face challenges in life pretty timeless 👌, not many song are like this, Great cover, Great band 😎
