When 20 Summers Pass - Shelter

I’ve got to concentrate on priorities

Can’t negate what means the most to me

What’s our fate?

What’s our destiny?

Start with each moment’s activity

I try, I try, I try, I try

But what’s important slips right by

When 20 summers pass and they’ll go fast

Will I look back and be satisfied within my heart

And at peace within my mind?

When 20 summers fly, fly on by

Will I like what I am and who I am or will I even give a damn?

We focus time on what matters least and our reward, a catastrophe

Looking back, what feels good to me?

Oh, the value of integrity
