10 Imago
Bm
Pt 1
I don't wanna wait
until my life
is virtually over
only to discover
that I could be something other
Pt 2
And when I came to that border
honestly I'd have to ask myself
just what did I expect it to be
and what would I change?
Pt 3
Ideally, we'd all get second chances
because, in this life the test precedes the answers
Pt 4
I look at the eyes of a bug
(does it see me?)
and realize I'm feeling jealousy
because it does so much with
its small little lifespan
that's only measured in days
Pt 5
beside its life does mine seem
like an eternity
with all the same changes
and with all of the stages
...And I figure
Pt 6
I'll have to be content
content with the changes
to be content
content with the ages
Pt 7
With my past child beside me
My parent's lives inside me
All that I've lost behind me
All that it's cost to find me
All that's been said to guide me
All that they've taught to get me here
placed in my heart and mind
they put it here
placed in my heart and mind
Pt 8
to raise me right, and up
Though I didn't want to grow up
that never stopped them trying
to raise me
they never stopped from trying
to raise me high and right up
I know
so final to be imago
all of your youth is left there
behind you
all the time spent striving to grow
to be imago
