...just a fond farewell to a friend



yeh look at me
in my thirties
plowing forth, unsteady and unsturdy but...
I'm still alive...I'm still alive
I win a prize
I'm still alive

yeh look at me
pushing forty
suiting up for another sortie and...
I'm still alive...I'm still alive
I win a prize
I'm still alive

It may not be pretty
my life up to here
but something bold and beautiful occurred...
I'm not interred

yeh look at me
as a tragic figure
for one frivolous moment I...
I beg to differ cuz
I'm still alive...I'm still alive,
I win a prize
I'm still alive

It may not be pretty
my life up to here
but something bold and beautiful occurred...
I'm not interred
