Where Did It All Go

Do you feel different, has anything changed
Does sitting here typing this feel a bit strange
Do you feel different, has anything changed
Does sitting here typing this feel a bit strange

How many different roads have you travelled on this journey
How many different paths taken – but thankfully not all stormy
What distance have you travelled before you need to rest
A lot more than the recommended daily ten thousand steps

Forty plus years of working has been taken in your stride
Starting out at twenty one was a bit of a rocky ride
Released from your studies out into the big wide world
Thinking no more than the next day would be like a tornado’s swirl

Was just a boy when I wondered at the castle on the hill
Looking at the horizon feels a little that time’s stood still
Same sort of landscape although punctuated by cranes
City’s getting a makeover, guess the benefit of change

Like all things in life people come and go
Several of them gone early against the tidal flow
Lots of new faces here to fill their void
Lots of new ideas that they bring allowing us to rejoice

Have seen a lot of changes some good and bad
Twin towers flattened that made me feel so sad
Berlin wall flattened made me feel so good
Positives and negatives all around us dictating our mood

If you’re lucky to have good health and can still do the things you like
Taking part in several recreations and quite literally on your bike
Being able to see new wonders when circling around the globe
Stimulate the brain stimulate the body using the travelling mode

Still have friends and colleagues who keep you on your toes
Still have lots of family increasing as on our life goes
Bringing a new perspective and challenging the past
Helping build a future that with technology will surely last

Building a social calendar to encompass all your goals
Broadening your horizons to recapture what life’s stole
Including all your desires and restarting your musical career
A combination of coaching and self-teaching around what you constantly hear

And thankfully through the last decade – there is Adele
