Were It Not That As Old As I

Were It Not That As Old As I

Were it not that as old as I

Am, looking back on all I’ve done,

For all the time that has passed by

I feel as I had just begun.

The reason that I feel that way,

Considering what I’ve been through,

Is that I’ve got a chance to say

Something about what maybe's true.

I say “maybe” because you know,

It need not absolutely be

Completely like it’s happened so,

But rather only seemingly,

And oftentimes not even that,
For white lies being big or small,

The more closely they’d be looked at

Needn’t even have happened at all.
