about

My Grandfather told me "Your life changes every ten years". For some reason, that thought always stayed with me and ended up as the main theme of this title.

lyrics

Young years as a child
Teenagers runnin wild
A courtship and marriage begins
Children come new, then the children grew
How fast the circle spins

Middle aged in our prime
What was done with the time
kids married, grandchildren begin
a retiree, the good life so free
How fast the circle spins

Tales of life we reel, spun on a ticking wheel
turn the page, and your life's begun
Each decade a change, our lives rearranged
The night spins, a new morning has come

Turning pages on the wheel
closing chapters to seal
Praise be mine, for each his blessed day
Crossing lifes divides, wading troubled tides
How fast lifes circle spins

A novel life we steal, times hands shuffle the deal
each season, each decade a change
Turn the page then move on, our bodies change
The night spins the morning to dawn

Stories that we feel, not numb to the ticking wheel
Turn the page, remember, recall
Each decade a change, our lives are gauged
Love spins us to Kingdom Come... How fast, the circle spins
