The past it called today, said I was spinnin'
Think back to yesterday, when I was winnin'
The sun was bright
I did alright
The day was long
I sang my song
I sang my song
The worst it came to pass, but I'm still standin'
I could be built to last, that's what I'm gamblin'
The sun was bright
I did alright
The day was long
I sang my song
And my song was about the dust roads we used to walk for miles
I told stories of the old days, the stalks that made the aisles
The hiking that we did and the plants that we would see
The colors of the flowers and the mitten-shape of leaves
The water in the little pond, the swing beside the tree
I told them all about how it was to grow up me
The past was filled with hope, but though I miss it
I've got to carry on, and do this mission
The sun is bright
I'm still alright
The day is long
I sing my song
