歌詞

Fifty-two years old today

I packed thirty years of my life in a single cardboard box

Handed in my plastic card

Walking out the heavy glass door at the end of the block

No one called my phone at noon

I learned the brutal truth about the title on my name

I am just a guy right now

Realizing that the real world is a different game

The silence is loud and the winter is cold

I gave all my time for a lie I was told

But looking right down at my two bare hands

I finally see where my own future stands

Today is the youngest that you will ever be

So look in the mirror and trust what you see

Do not be afraid of the open wide sky

You have to jump first if you want to fly

Walk down the road that you know in your heart

You have the courage to finally start

Leave all the panic and worry behind

Go out and see what your spirit can find

Lost my safety net in May

No monthly wire hitting the bank on the twenty-fifth

Paying for my own health plan

Understanding my importance was only a myth

People look at me and blink

When I say I have no company to call my home

I am standing on the street

Learning how to navigate the city all alone

The silence is loud and the winter is cold

I gave all my time for a lie I was told

But looking right down at my two bare hands

I finally see where my own future stands

Today is the youngest that you will ever be

So look in the mirror and trust what you see

Do not be afraid of the open wide sky

You have to jump first if you want to fly

Walk down the road that you know in your heart

You have the courage to finally start

Leave all the panic and worry behind

Go out and see what your spirit can find

It is never too late to just change your mind

The best days are not always staying behind

Your legs are still strong and your blood is still warm

So walk out your door and step into the storm

Every mistake is a lesson you bought

You are much stronger than you ever thought

Today is the youngest that you will ever be

So look in the mirror and trust what you see

Do not be afraid of the open wide sky

You have to jump first if you want to fly

Walk down the road that you know in your heart

You have the courage to finally start

Leave all the panic and worry behind

Go out and see what your spirit can find

Fifty-two and starting fresh

Bones and blood and human flesh

Today is the day

Walk your own way

Do not be afraid

See what you made

Today is the youngest you will ever be

Go out and be free
