They say I'm getting older but I'm still the same
And I'm taking everything that has to come with age
I remember being little in New Orleans, just a part of something bigger
Hopin' everything would stay this way
I'm still the little kid I was, man, it's a process
I still talk a little too much, I still obsess
Over silly things, over broken beams
Over ruined days, over my hopes and dreams
I'm very thankful, man, I love my friends
And my family, and all they planned for me
Sometimes I can not see, and that's just vanity
But I'm reminded by eyes watching from the canopy
Sometimes, I stop and think, about where I would be
If I did not have all the gifts that y'all have gotten me
Every smile, every hug, every twist of arm
It all keeps me going, it all keeps me warm
And one day (one day, one day)
One day you'll figure out it's people you love
When you think about the person who's been keeping you snug
When the planets are out, when the trees are above
When the fire comes down and it's time for me to go
When the choir burns out and I've played my last show
When it's time for Brewster Durbin to stop being a being
I can look back on my life and know, I've found the meaning
