"A Year To Go By" lyrics

Here I am, ten years have I
Watch me run
Watch me play
Watch me cry
Time has no time
The world is mine
And it takes ten years for a year to go by

Here I am, now twenty one
Learned all I need for a life that's just begun
I know the rules
Old men are fools
And it takes seven years for a year to be done

Here I am, past forty two
All that I know now, if only then I knew
Tricked by time
Now I find that it takes just a year
For a year to be through

Here I am
As old as old
All sayings have been said, all stories have been told
Taught by time
The greatest crime is to live less than a year
When a year has unrolled
Less than a year
When a year has unrolled
