WHEN I'M 30
© 2010 Ben Chilcote

When I was younger
I was told to pursue my dreams
And when I grew up
I could be who I wanted to be
But as it turns out
It's not quite as simple as we think

Like when I'm 30 it's not gonna be just me
I'm gonna I wake up
With others who depend on me
And all the plans I had
Will be second to everything...

CHORUS
There's a battle that we face every day of our life
To either die to ourselves or to fight to survive
Either way you go you gotta be willing to sacrifice

You choose what you take and you choose what you give
So don't wait till it's too late to decide how to live
Wounded hearts will maybe heal but time will never forgive

When I'm 40
If I'm still hangin' on
Gonna wake up
and half of my life is gone
Don't wanna look down
With nothing but trophies
In my hands

I wanna know that
I'm a hero in my children's eyes
That I never gave up
Relentlessly pursuing my wife
That even God was proud
Of my hidden life
That's right.

CHORUS

BRIDGE
You have everything to gain
And everything to lose

When you find yourself ahead looking back down the road
You may find you made it far but that you made it alone
I don't wanna be up there if I'm up there
On my own

CHORUS

I was 30...
