Hear 'em singing Happy Birthday
Better think about the wish I make
This year gone by ain't been a piece of cake
Every day's a revolution
Pull it together and it comes undone
Just one more candle and a trip around the sun

Chorus:
I'm just hanging on while this old world keeps spinning
And it's good to know it's out of my control
If there's one thing that I've learned from all this living
Is that it wouldn't change a thing if I let go

No, you never see it coming
Always wind up wondering where it went
Only time will tell if it was time well spent
It's another revelation
Celebrating what I should have done
With these souvenirs of my trip around the sun

(Chorus)

Yes, I'll make a resolution
That I'll never make another one
Just enjoy this ride on my trip around the sun
Just enjoy this ride ...
Until it's done

Life is such a precious gift. I don't think we realize just how precious sometimes.
Do we ever really stop to think about what part we play in the world around us?
I really like the whole idea of this song. As I sit here and reflect on myself getting older - it's good to know that there are some things that I just can not control. Sometimes life just happens along the way. We all experience happiness, sadness, loneliness, aggravation, anger, love, and oh so many more emotions. The good thing is even though some of those we might not like - it means we're living. Be grateful that you are alive. Use the bad to help you appreciate the good. (By the way this is a mental note to myself too.) So on that note -
Enjoy life today, yesterday is gone, and tomorrow may never come.
