Turning 50 years old today
I'm too young to be so damn old.
I'm too young but for all I know,
I'm way too young to be so bold. 
I'm much to young to be so damn old.

In growing old did I lose my youth?
In growing old did I learn the truth?
That in growing old, what's the use?
That in growing old, our minds grow loose.

Unless we learn to fully live.
Unless we learn to fully give.
To share the love and knowledge we learn.
That old is a badge we earn.

And it's not so bad to be so damn old.
And I'll always be young inside, I know.
