You know, I thought I’d have made it by now To wherever I was meant to go But the years Have only shown me somehow There’s still so much to know And here I am On the edge Holding on tonight Trying to tell myself I’ll be alright And I wonder Can you see me? Can you see me try? From the other side Will I find my way? Will I be okay? Do you know How this turns out for me? I’m not afraid Of getting older But God, I’m getting older And I do get scared Aye, I get scared When the nights Get a little colder I thought I’d know I thought I’d know by now What the hell I’m doing with this life of mine I’m not afraid Of getting older I’m just scared I’m running out of time When I was young There was always someone wiser Someone there When I lost my way A steady hand There on my shoulder Saying, “You’ll understand someday” Now here I am And I’m the older one And the ones I used to lean on are gone And God knows I could use them now ’Cause half the time I haven’t got a clue how And I wonder Yeah, I wonder Can you see me From where you are? I don’t pray But tonight I might So if you hear me Send a little light [Chorus – fuller] I’m not afraid Of getting older But God, I’m getting older And I do get scared Aye, I get scared When the nights Get a little colder I thought I’d know I really thought I’d know What the hell I’m doing with this life of mine I’m not afraid Of getting older I’m just scared I’m running out of time All the things I thought I’d know Still feel So far away How am I Supposed to show them the road When I’m still Trying to find my way? I’m not afraid Of getting older But God, I am getting older And I do get scared God, I get scared When the nights Get a little colder I thought I’d know I thought I’d know by now What the hell I’m doing with this life of mine I’m not afraid Of getting older But God, I am getting older I’m not afraid Of getting older I’m just scared I’m running out of time So if you need me tonight If you’re not feeling alright Come here A little closer Let me Put my hand On your shoulder “This life will all make more sense When you’re older…” God… That might be true. I don’t know. But, Don’t be afraid of getting older.
