lyrics

you’ve lived
eighteen thousand,
two hundred and fifty days…
passed on
the wisdom of the ages
to the kids you’ve raised.

i cannot verify
if what I’ve been told is a lie;
life gets better
after fifty?

maybe you
can shed some light
you speak from experience
you can see the end
without so much interference.

i want you to tell me why
life gets better and then you die;
life gets better
after fifty?

i hope that
i look as good as you
when I am fifty too
and maybe
the wisdom of the ages
will prove this life is just a practice run,
will prove this life is just a…

i want to live forever
if it just keeps getting better,
so tell me life gets better
life gets better after fifty.
