The Years Go Sliding By

     You make a little plan for the future, then you altar it time and again
Your losing your love for material things and hoping you don't lose your friends
You wonder sometimes what hit you as change leaves you hi and dry
Your clothes, they no longer fit you, and the years go sliding by

You've finally developed a picture of who and what you believe
Uncovered your personal scripture, that you carry around on your sleeve
You know who you are completely, and know you must find out why
As your keeping track of each day the years go sliding by
 
Then finally one day you accept it, nature, it's will and it's ways
Father time has now earned your respect, day by day by day
And now in the storm and the thunder, your memory is in it's prime
Yet all you can do is wonder, how the years went sliding by
