we're still living


I'm at that age 
where people look back or forget
I'm not ready
to give up the present just yet
I'm thinking there must be
some things yet to do
and I'm going to do them
and I hope you do, too
'cause we're still living
this world is still our home
we're still living
the only life we've ever known

when I wake up
it's another earthly day
another chance of living
I don't want to give away
there's books and words and music
and friends and family
and all the other people
that you have yet to be
'cause we're still living
this world is still our home
we're still living
the only life we've ever known

          my time is moving on
          but I'm not done
          I don't want to see
          that setting sun

I'm at that age
when people live with regret
I'm not ready
to give up the present just yet
I've still got life
and dreams and hope
and a lifetime of learning
on a seesawing slope
and we're still living
this world is still our home
we're still living
the only life we've ever known
