Randy Moser - Different One Lyrics

I asked my dad just what he'd want to be
When he grew up, what were his hopes and dreams
To find out, just what got in the way
I'd make a vow to not be like him someday

He said
I never gave up on my dreams just found a different one
Are we gracious with our age or are we desperate to hold on
The best part about getting old confounds you when you're young
Holding you is exactly what I need

Sarah Said
You might be a dad someday
To this boy, it felt like graduation day
The nurse she came
She checked your lungs and then she weighed you
Took your blood and then she bathed you
Then I bless and then I named you

You see
I never gave up on my dreams just found a different one
Are we gracious with our age or we desperate to hold on
The best part about getting old confounds you when you're young
Holding you is exactly what I need
