Last night I went walking and I saw myself

Actually it was a much younger me

So I said to myself "How are you?"

I said "funny you should know"

I, I am a student of life

I walked with me while, don't remember myself thin

Then again I didn't think I'd get heavy and gray

I asked why I wasn't warned of trouble ahead

But I had younger eyes, wasn't as wise and the future was where I was lead

I, I am a student of life

We hit a crossroad, me returned to memory

Said the present is my tapestry

I walked a little further, tapped a stranger on the shoulder

Surprisingly...it was me a little older

I asked how things turned out

Myself said "stick to the autumn path"

Your life, our life...

Goes on, no doubt

I, I am a student of life

So often it seems as if I'm starring in my own movie

For now I'm calling it "Life"

And it's as if I'm just letting this film play out

I'm an inquisitive actor in search of definity

I, I am a student of life

Surface is surface

Things are what they are

Don't read into things

But possibilities remain

Future's on its way

Past is late in leaving

People are who they are

While imagination works overtime
