Seize The Day

Talking with a friend of mine
He told me of this journey along the way
Talking as we stared at the day
He told me how time controlled his days

Seize the day

His face had lines of weathered times
His posture had the strength of an old oak tree
I looked this man right in his eyes
And he said, “Son, someday you will look like me.”

Seize the day

The peaceful rock of an old man’s chair
Really caught my eye
The peaceful rock of an old man’s chair
He sits there waiting with time to spare

Walking with a friend of mine
We watched a golden eagle fly away
Silent at the end of the day
His shadow drifted slowly across the bay

Seize the day
That’s what he said

The peaceful rock of an old man’s chair
Really caught my eye
The peaceful rock of an old man’s chair
He sits there waiting with time to spare

Seize the day
That’s what he said
