Nellie Mckay

Never thought I'd live to be old enough
To be old enough to feel like this
And never thought I'd figure it out enough
To be loud enough to make you listen
On and on the meadows sing
We ring out merry the view
On and on my conscience blared
And shared my longing for you
Never thought I'd live to be old enough
To be bold enough to make a difference
Never thought I'd figure it out enough
To be proud enough to take my mission
Never thought I'd live to be smart enough
To have heart enough to find a better way
Never thought I'd live to be old enough
To have soul enough to pass perdition
