When I was going to live forever.

When I was young and proud.

When they couldn’t teach me.

When I was brash and loud.

When they couldn’t reach me.

When I was special in my head.

When I danced with Gods and demons.

Shared memories of the dead.

It couldn’t last forever.

Of that we can be glad.

All about now or never.

When finding reasons to be glad.
