'05

There was nothing we couldn’t do,
The world had no place we wouldn’t go,
We were set on conquering the world,
And at the summit we would stand proud and bold,
We knew no defeat,
And we could accomplish any feat,
We were young and just beginning to feel alive,
Those were the best days of our lives.

The future bowed down before us,
We could see clearly the path that lay before us,
Filled with wealth and success,
We deserved nothing less,
We ran the race with all our might,
Never stopping and never in fright,
Every day was better than the last,
The future much brighter than the past.

But now we tread with more caution,
We walk each step with hesitation,
We no longer see the gold line streets,
Truth, we’ve suffered our share of numbing defeats,
Our gait has become nothing more than a crawl,
And we hide only in places we’ve been before,
I miss the days back in ’05,
Those were the best days of our lives.
