Song Description

Growing up and learning about life - getting wiser.

Lyrics

I used to think that life was made of days arranged and played.
Like music pre-composed I had to live whether I had chosen it.
But now it dawns, I'm not a pawn, I live on by making choices.
I choose for me, to live life free - of influential voices.
 
Age creeping nearer now I feel somehow I am so much wiser,
In songs I tell of trips through hell and try to live much kinder.
There have been days when scripts are played and it seems there is no end to it all.
I take the hit, move on from it, and try to avoid the next pitfall.
 
But I - I am getting wiser.
But I - I am
 
My back is aching, knees are shaking, feel like life's taking me for a ride.
My scars are deep, inside I creep, and try to keep from being eaten alive.
But then I see, they're not after me - I had just scared myself silly.
And then it dawns, I know I'm the one that needs to taste reality.
 
Repeat chorus
