Lyrics
What if life was reversed and the years had been switched,
coming into this world with an old walking stick
as the years would fly by, the lines dissappear
and you'd end up back in the womb
Born with all of the pain, time would soon heal,
then a handsome young man on face feel
like a snake shedding skin, now youthful & bright
in the womb you would see the light
Carried like a baby, everything's alright, she's holding on so tight
Cradled like a baby, fitting like a glove, dying in a mothers love
when your living each day looking forward to age
when you're starting your life at the end of the page
your life would be kinder, no sickness you'd see
80 tomorrow 18.
