Another year has passed you by

Another year lived as a lie

They said these years would be so fun

You blinked and now you’re twenty-one

And so you look to years ahead

Somehow adulthood makes you scared

They said you’d blossom in the sun

You blinked and now you’re twenty-one

You had your years all planned out straight

And now you wonder about fate

Could there be something more

To life than this

You look back past and wonder how

You’d ever made it until now

Could there be something more

To life than this

There is

Life and love and joy and pain

There is shelter from the rain

And oh,

At the end he’s waiting there for you

There is

Freedom from the past you hide

A new song to sing deep down inside

And oh,

At the end you’ll stand up tall ‘cause you’re beautiful

At twenty-one
