Happy birthday
You're one year older
Than your last birthday
And not much has changed
Keep sitting on those hands
Let the time tick by
Let the seconds stack up
To build towers of the years
You did nothing
Right up to your last breath
And while you're on this side of Now
Looking over the chasm to Then
Thinking you have a long way to go
There's already a man
On the other side of Then
Looking back over the chasm to the kid
On this side of Now
Wishing he could have just one more try
To get it right
Before the end
