Meditações - step by step in time

I don't run like I did back then

Takes a breath just to start again

Morning light finds lines on my face

But I've learned to move at a kind of pace

Plans I made didn't all come true

Some roads bent, some outgrew

Still, I found in the changing view

What stays with you is what you choose

We're just walking this road, step by step in time

Little sparks in a grand design

Every year brings a clearer sight

There's a quiet grace in another sunrise

No need to race what we can't control

Every mile shapes the heart and soul

I believe as the days unfold

There's a kind of strength in growing old

Mm-mm

There was a time I chased every mile

Now I linger just to rest a while

Windows down with a slower song

Let the moment carry me alone

Used to think the best was gone too fast

Like joy was tied to a fading past

But the truth has a way of showing through

Some of the best comes later on for you

We're just walking this road, step by step in time

Little sparks in a grand design

Every year brings a softer view

Of the things that really matter to you

Through the turns and the highs and lows

There's a peace that the heart can know

And I see as the days unfold

There's a quiet gift in growing old

I won't forget where I've been before

Every lesson opened up a door

Time moves on, it won't slow down

But there's beauty waiting all around

We're just walking this road, step by step in time

Little sparks in a grand design

And the more that I live and learn

The more I see what's truly earned

No need to feel what I can't control

Every day shapes the heart and soul

Now I know as the days unfold

There's nothing wrong with growing old

Mm-mm
