Lyrics
Every time that I look in the mirror
Reflecting on aging and the visible signs of time passing.
All these lines on my face getting clearer
Physical signs of aging becoming more noticeable.
The past is gone
Acknowledging that the past is over.
It went by, like dusk to dawn
Time passing swiftly, from night to day, implying the passage of time.
Isn't that the way
Reflecting on the universal nature of experiences.
Everybody's got the dues in life to pay
Everyone faces challenges and responsibilities in life.
I know nobody knows
Uncertainty about the origins and destinations of life.
Where it comes and where it goes
Uncertainty about the path life takes.
I know it's everybody sin
Recognizing that mistakes and wrongdoings are common to all.
You got to lose to know how to win
Learning from failures is necessary to achieve success.
Half my life's
Half of life spent learning from various sources, possibly books.
In books' written pages
Knowledge gained from written records.
Live and learn from fools and
Learning from both foolish and wise people.
From sages
Learning from both fools and wise individuals.
You know it's true, oh
Asserting the truth of this mixed learning experience.
All the things come back to you
Actions and consequences eventually return to impact oneself.
Sing with me, sing for the year
Inviting others to sing together, to share experiences.
Sing for the laughter, sing for the tear
Sing for both joy and sorrow in life.
Sing with me, if it's just for today
Encouraging to sing together, perhaps as a momentary escape.
Maybe tomorrow, the good Lord will take you away
Life's uncertainty—suggesting to act today as tomorrow's fate is unknown.
Yeah, sing with me, sing for the year
Reiteration of the invitation to sing for various emotions.
Sing for the laughter, sing for the tear
Sing for both joy and sorrow in life.
Sing with me, if it's just for today
Encouraging to sing together, perhaps as a momentary escape.
Maybe tomorrow, the good Lord will take you away
Reminder of life's unpredictability and the need to seize the present.
Dream on
Encouragement to hold onto dreams and persist until they're realized.
Dream on
-Dream on
-Dream until your dream come true
-Dream on
-Dream on
-Dream on
-Dream until your dream come through
-Dream on
Repetition emphasizing the importance of dreaming and perseverance.
Dream on
-Dream on
-Dream on
-Dream on
-Dream on
-Dream on, ah
Sing with me, sing for the year
Reiteration of the invitation to sing together, acknowledging life's highs and lows and the uncertainty of the future.
Sing for the laughter, sing for the tear
-Sing with me, if it's just for today
-Maybe tomorrow, the good Lord will take you away
-Sing with me, sing for the year
-Sing for the laughter, sing for the tear
-Sing with me, if it's just for today
-Maybe tomorrow, the good Lord will take you away
