Lyrics
The downslide By Joel Pirard I once saw the path before me As an un-ending journey I believed that the road went on forever Not so, as it is plainly true Now I see the summit approaching With the downslide getting closer Mortality is reality, extreme becomes mainstream What to make of all this? Not so very long ago I felt invincible, superman Always ready with an answer My father used to say that any day Spent above the ground, Upright, was a good one I will strive to leave a good path behind me Leaving good footsteps to follow If a bit of me is alive in my children Then I have lived a good life, not hollow My path is not ended yet I still have more to say Just a struggle to put it all Into words But it will all come out At the end of the day
