Wasn't It You

you were younger then
I was wiser when
it didn’t matter and I fell
from the audience
clutching common sense
careening through the gates of hell
wasn’t it you who climbed
through the maze of my mind
and taught me that a tear is just another year
‘til age and courage combine
sing le chaim to this
meal of impatience
the day the music came alive
holy appetite
the struggles we ignite
to what’s awaiting in moonlight
you were younger then
I was wiser when
it didn’t matter and I fell
twenty years of sand
crawling on broken hands
and knees in search of innocence
wasn’t it you… wasn't it you… taught me that a tear is just another year‘til
age and courage combine
