Hoping for the best, but expecting the worst
Are you gonna drop the bomb or not
We don't have the power, but we never say never
Sitting in a sand-pit, life is a short trip
The music's for the sad men.
Can you imagine when this race is run
Turn our golden faces into the sun
Praising our leaders, we're getting in tune
The music's played by the mad men
Forever young, I want to be forever young
Do you really want to live forever, forever, forever?
Forever young, I want to be forever young
Do you really want to live forever, forever, forever?
Some are like water, some are like the heat
Some are a melody, some are the beat
Sooner or later they all be gone
Why don't they stay young?
It's so hard to get old without a cause
I don't want to perish like a fading horse
Youth is like diamonds in the sun
and diamonds are forever
So many adventures couldn't happen today
So many songs that we forgot to play
So many dreams swinging out of the blue
We let them come true
Forever young, I want to be forever young
Do you really want to live forever, forever, forever?
Forever young, I want to be forever young
Do you really want to live forever, forever, forever?
Forever young, I want to be forever young
Do you really want to live forever, forever, forever?
Forever young, I want to be forever young
Do you really want to live forever, forever, forever?
Me and some friends were reminiscing today at dinner and thinking about how if we could do things all over, we would. How if we could be young again we would be.
I have been thinking about his a lot lately actually. Mostly because i am trying to figure out my career path and some other big choices i have to make soon. Thinking about all these things and the hard decisions I have to make, really makes me wish I were younger. That I was still a little girl. That I could do it all over again. I wish I could say that I do not have any things I would change about how I chose to live my life, but I do. However I do think the choices I have made have made me the person I am today. I am not saying that I want to go back and choose to do things differently, I just want to be a little girl again. I want my mom to make all my decisions. I want to not have to make big choices like careers and majors. I want to be younger
I guess. When things were easier, when my life was simpler.
But all of this does not matter. I cannot go back and I cannot become young again. But that is ok. I am still young and I have so much more to look forward to in life! It all goes by so quickly, like being here in Africa. It has been going so fast. Just like life. It is a short trip when it is all said and done. Hard choices are just a part of life that I have to learn to deal with because I will be making decisions for the rest of my life. And someday I will have to make decisions for my own little girl or boy. And they will no doubt be thinking the same things as I am right now when they are my age. So I suppose this decision making business is all apart of life. I suppose I just need to make these choices and whatever other choices life throws at me, and trust that God will help me to choose the right path.
I wonder if my own mother ever feels this way. I am sure she does. Im sure everyone does once in a while. Everyone wants to be forever young. But like the end of this song says, do you really want to live forever, forever, forever?
