Been Here Longer
© 2003 Lydia Lord
The planet's full of people
No two are quite the same
Who knew that I'd turn out to be
The person I became
We could've used a guidebook
To help us get through
The stories out of our lives
Might be a guide for you
Life has knocked us down sometimes
Life has made us stronger
Maybe we're not so different from you
We've just been here longer
It's never too late to be yourself
That's why we're here today
There's still a kid in each of us
Tryin' to find our way
We'd like to change your image
Of aging, it's true
Listening to our lives, you'll see
We're still learning too
Life has knocked us down sometimes
Life has made us stronger
Maybe we're not so different from you
We've just been here longer
Maybe we're not so different from you
We've – just – been – here – longer! |
