lyrics

"MIDDLE LIFE" Words and Music by Greta Gertler Gold.

What you just told me
Is the opposite of what I wanted to hear
We make it through the city
Just knowing you are near
But the time has come,
I'm happy for you.
A change for the best.
The opposite of what I want,
But I'll stay for the test.
This is life and we're in it,
Open your ears,
now I'm with you.
Middle life and you feel it,
Time to move on
To a new phase.
Years that were peaceful
Have now weakened into war.
The thrill of chasing down every block,
The pounding's now become a bore.
And it's hard to raise your children on Church
Without clean air
And the oceans, and the Boab trees
I'm picturing you there.
This is life and we're in it,
Open your ears, now I'm with you.
Middle life and you feel it,
Time to move on
To a new place.
We won't forget
We'll move ahead
A different hemisphere,
A different set of keys.
We see the waves
And the children play
And we'll do our best
We'll do our best.
This is life and we're in it,
Open your ears, now I'm with you.
Middle life and you feel it,
Time to move on
To a new place.
