Today is the first day of the rest of my life

I wake as a child to see the world begin

On monarch wings

And birthday wonderings

Want to put on faces
Walk in the wet and cold

And look forward to my growing old

To grow old is to change

To change is to be new

To be new is to be young again

I barely remember when

My memories are stolen by the morning

Blotted out by the suns hypnotic eye

I'll abide the sun's hypnotic eye

Today is the first day of the rest of my life

I wake as a child to see the world begin

On monarch wings

And birthday wonderings

Want to put on faces
Walk in the wet and cold

And look forward to my growing old
