In these, my golden years
How can I try and push down my fears?
'Cause in the blink of an eye
I'll watch these golden years fly by

In time, I hope that I can show all the world
The love in my mind
I know if only I try
I'll get these golden years to shine

How can I get near it (How can I get near it)
If all I do is fear it? (If all I do is fear it?)
So bad, so bad
Well, no, well, no, no

Though so much has passed, the only thing true
Is nothing can last
And in the blink of an eye
I'll watch these golden years fly by

Thinking back on the many times I cried
What could have been if I stood up tall and tried

And now I know that I
Can get these golden years to shine
