Lyrics
Looking at Pictures on the Wall
Looking at pictures on the wall
Ain't it funny how time fades the faces away
A wave of memories in a sea of change
My thoughts float gently through time
When I think back to my youth
It seems like so many years ago
How did a child's imagination
Give way to a fear of growing old
Now I know...this is life
Yes I know...life is change
I look at each picture on the wall
I think of the way things used to be
I remember the need to race with time
And thinking I had to know it all
Now I struggle to pass on wisdom
To children of my own
Gently guide their dreams
To overcome fears of the unknown
Now I know...this is life
Yes I know...life is change
The picture of life is the story of change
Each change a tribute to time
I look at these pictures on the wall
And feel the change inside of me
So I quiet contemplation
I smile as a tear comes to my eye
With peaceful resolution
I reflect on this truth I can't deny
Now I know...this is life
Yes I know...life is change
Now I know...this is life
Yes I know...life is change
