Lift up your head and peer up and over
Wasn't it simpler when you weren't growing older?
But now life's coming, it's stretching your wings
And you've just started to enjoy the simpler things
The tilt of a chin: inquisitive and cocked
The tug of a smile: lifting a down face up
No longer rushing all over the town
You've laid a root, you're protecting it now
Cradling the babe so new to your life
Careful to shelter, gotta steer the ship right
You're smiling a little easier, taking a firmer stance
For family, for friendship, for your own second chance
