Was long ago but really not that long ago
When one heard a soft slow song play
When one of many time I sat upon a plane
At thirty thousand feet during a very silent day
Just looking out of a window at the clouds
As if an entity that could ever fly so high
Thinking of all that's been in one's life so far
And with total wonder one then asks one's self why
What the hell was that all about behind me
I only ever over all gave it all I had to give
And here I am silently looking down on earth
At the endless multitudes also only strive to live
Over time I've had it all I thought then lost it
As I gave all I had to those I so ever loved then
And then again and again I always the same
Got all I needed once more back in life as when
But after all this time of climbing life's high vine
I find in a time of deep reflection all that was a test
And looking back so very far back down life's track
One realizes they'd had passed it all at very best
And now upon another day long since then away
Here in life one has now all one could pray for true
Peace of mind happiness and real true love
And a contentment only known by ever so many few
All behind you only ever wanted what money could buy
And here you are with all that it never could no way
The priceless things that simply have no price at all
As they cannot be bought or sold upon any given day
In deep reflection one thinks of those that don't
And knows they'll never miss what they'e never known
And because one does care it's at times hard to bare
But besides in deep reflection all those winds have blown.
