Day By Day

Well, we took a train to Kensington And listened to the children run Just beyond the garden gate Where Peter and Wendy played There was a sign that said we weren't allowed To duck inside and join the crowd Without a son or daughter's hand To lead us into Neverland And it hurt so bad But it's so good to be young And I don't want to go back I just want to go on and on and on Day by day, day by day And everybody's so surprised When right before your very eyes Your baby's in the second grade You blink and it's her wedding day And we just can't get used to being here Where the ticking clock is loud and clear Children of eternity On the run from entropy And it hurts so bad But it's so good to be young And I don't want to go back I just want to go on and on and on Day by day, day by day So don't lose heart Though your body's wasting away Your soul is not It's being remade Day by day by day Well, you have never met a single soul Who didn't feel the curse's toll Who didn't wish that death would die Maybe that's the reason why And it hurts so bad But it's so good to be young And I don't want to go back I just want to go on and on and on So don't lose heart Though your body's wasting away Your soul is not It's being remade So don't lose heart Don't lose heart Your body will rise and never decay Day by day by day --- Day by Day - Andrew Peterson
