Lyrics

When life hits you hard
And age hits you harder
You might feel old tonight
You can’t trade your deck of cards
But can you barter all the darkness for the light?

All your years have brought you here
It has taken you a long time
Yet you don’t know how you reached the status quo
Or how you ever lost your prime

Then life hits you hard and rage hits you harder
Swelling up in you tonight
You can’t trade your deck of cards
Can you barter all the darkness for the light?
Is there still time to make it right?

Now from the rear
The younger generations look at you as if you’re in the way
One thing is clear
Time is running out for you to have your say

All your years have brought you here
They have taken you a long way
And though you ache there is still a chance to make
The most of what you have today

So when life hits you hard
And age hits you harder
Do not feel old tonight
You can’t trade that deck of cards
But you can barter all the darkness for the light
There’s still time to make it right
