Reflecting on the past, acknowledging that youth has passed.
Time don't stand still
Emphasizing the inevitability of time's progression.
My my where do the years go
Expressing surprise at how quickly time has passed.

So speak your mind and use your head
Encouraging open expression of thoughts and using intelligence.
Walk tall
