the lesson has been learned
  we'll take the spring over this fall
  and when it's not getting better,
  it's time to grow older.
    never forgetting, anything
    we try to hold on to why it began
  will we survive through this crush
  or will we lose touch,
  lose sight and just give in.
  please don't give in
    ready or not
  the years will pass
  will you know what to do
  when it sneaks up on you
    they tell you don't pretend
  tell them why it began
  don't expect them to understand
  but expect to tell it all again.
