Young Light, Old Friend

Must be the young man inside who says leave it all
Has to be the old one instilled who makes us stay
Circling days like a vulture over decomposing feelings
Darkening is the night that traps you again
Must be the young man who sees the light in your eyes
Has to be the old one who is bitter towards him
Lost like a dog who’s ears have gone silent
Spinning out of control like a seed in the wind
The land, the sky, the ocean blue, all parts of me and you.
Don’t mistake, your Earthly take, for universal law.
Times are changing now in the present.
Past and future have lost their relevance.
Must be the young man that has gotta keep movin
Has to be the old one who is tired from the miles already walked
The world has dug itself deep under your skin
But only a part of it that is still and cold
Must be the young man inside that holds hope on his palm
Has to be the old one who’s hope is Going going gone.
As long as the warbler migrates, life is livin’
If you choose to be a part, is a choice of your own
The land, the sky, the ocean blue, all parts of me and you.
Don’t mistake, your Earthly take, for universal law.
Times are changing now in the present.
Past and future have lost their relevance.
It will always be the young ones who see light ahead
It only happens to be the old ones after years of building walls instead
Fly with the winds over oceans and cities you’ve never been
To behold what you’ve searched for, young light…old friend.
thx folks :)
