Jane's Birthday

Optimists opt for light
so which side you’re fighting for?
restless, you are never lost
and you’re not even 24
everything was fine back then
we all had more innocence
we even had more hope back then
was life better then?
and you’re not even 24
so superstars are never worth fighting
fighting what you’re fighting for
they suddenly come and suddenly go
so you’re not even 24
I say: now, you might feel lonely
just don’t worry, a day is gone
I say: now, you might well feel lonely
just don’t worry, a day is gone
and when light flows in we are fourteen
I say light flows in, and we are fourteen
it’ll shine even more when we’ll be thirty-four,
forty-four, fifty-four, sixty-four, seventy-four, eighty-four, ninety-four
