50 Things I Learned From Rock n Roll

  

50 things I learned from Rock n Roll



1) Sometimes it goes so fast
I try to make some moment last
I watch it slippin' past

2) It used to seem to me that my life ran on too fast
And I had to take it slowly just to make the good parts last

3) Trust me friend a hundred years
Goes faster than you think, so don't blink

4) Well, I've been afraid of changin'
'Cause I've built my life around you
But time makes you bolder
Even children get older
And I'm getting older too

5) I may cross the river jordan
I may face the rising tide
I got a simple plan to get us through these stormy days
hold on to each other find a way
we got to hold on to each other find a way

6) Another day, another life
Passes by just like mine
It's not complicated

7) Every little thing is gonna be alright

8) What else should I be?
All apologies

9) We learned more from a three-minute record, baby
Than we ever learned in school

10) And when your looks are gone and you're alone
How many nights you sit beside the phone
What were the things you wanted for yourself
Teenage ambitions you remember well

11) Seasons change, people change
But you can't hold back the clock
Cause time won't stop for you and me
And the world keeps spinning 'round

12)  And the only thing certain is
That everything changes

13) Life is what happens to us while we're busy making other plans.

14) Yesterday all my troubles seemed so far away

15) Laugh on and live
Learn how to forgive

16) I'm reaching for heaven, we'll make it there
Darling, it's just the power of prayer

17) Here is to us and all that we see
Here's to our hearts and the air that we breath
Here's to a round in good company
Here's to a drink that we share

18) Oh, in some ways it's the same
But tonight the crowd they came
Fists in the air, candles and vigils
Cracked dreams held together with curses and wishes

19) Let Love rule

20) Let the rain wash away all the pain of yesterday

21) I listen to the wind, to the wind of my soul
Where I'll end up, well, I think only God really knows

22) I keep looking for some kind of sign
Trying to hold on in this race against time
I can't say where the next bend might be
That is the beauty in life's mystery

23) Well, I've been afraid of changin'
'Cause I've built my life around you
But time makes you bolder
Even children get older
And I'm getting older too

24) The lights will draw you in
And the dark will bring you down
And the night will break your heart
But only if you're lucky now

25) I say reaching for Heaven is what I'm on Earth to do

26) Here's to the nights we won't remember
With the friends we won't forget

27)  What makes me think I could start clean slated
The hardest to learn was the least complicated

28) Such is the way of the world
You can never know
Just where to put all your faith
And how will it grow

29) It's my life it's now or never. I ain't gonna live forever.

30) And the days go by, like a strand in the wind

31)  I'm just glad to be here, happy to be alive

32) It's no better to be safe than sorry

33) The ocean is the river's goal
A need to leave the water knows
We're closer now than light years to go

34) You belong somewhere you feel free

35) The sea is high
And I'm heading into a crisis
Chasing the years of my life

36) All of these lines across my face
Tell you the story of who I am

So many stories of where I've been
And how I got to where I am

37) I believe in you baby
And I'll always be around

38) feel your way like the day before
Maybe you'll find direction
Around some corner where it's been waiting to meet you

39) The more that I see the less that I know for sure

40) I've been first and last
Look at how the time goes past

41) joy was just the thing that he was raised on
Love is just the way to live and die

42) I want to have a little faith, I want to know what a guy and a girl
Can do when they're dizzy
Cause they're just not spinning with this world

43) One day, you're gonna look back, how far you've gone
But you better walk before you run

44) You got to know when to hold 'em, know when to fold 'em

45) Time may change a lot but some things may stay the same

46) Nobody told me there'd be days like these
Strange days indeed

47) There's no race, there's only a runner
Just keep one foot in front of the other

48) Tired and wired, we ruin too easy

49) Fight the power

50) All you need is love

  2. 50 was hard for me because it just sounded old. Now age is just a number to me.
