one two three

growing up and playing with blocks

stacking them higher and higher

one two three

going to school every day

making new friends and getting grades

one two three

getting a job and earning money

but never a break to pause

one two three

having little children that run around

not enough time to spend with them

one two three

they leave the house and with it

they also leave you

one two three

suddenly one day

one two three

turns into

three two one

and then it’s done.
