A Childish Grey lyrics

In the brilliance of a mirror

Dawn's face shown upon mine

And broke these cheek's creases

In gleaming reflected reality

Shining grey in hair and hands

Gave grand epiphany awakened

That the years had passed unnoted

Still within this creaking hulk

There beats a child's spirit

And joy of life's miseries

In a squinting, sparkling eye

Where not so many years ago

A child ran, laughed, and played

Whose soul smiles still in their delight

Bounded by a body matured

That has slowed unlike time

But there is no revelation

That smacks of regret here

Instead a satisfaction

For time's atonement cum laude

Is recalling a life well lived
