Lyrics
Verse 1:
At ten years old, with nothing but a dream,
In a neighborhood where the wind’s supreme,
With my games and cardboard laughter bright,
I dreamed of a world filled with light.
Verse 2:
At twenty years, my first love came to be,
A heartbeat that set my spirit free,
But time and distance, harsh and cold,
Broke the promises we once told.
Chorus:
Life teaches us with time, oh yes,
From tears to moments of happiness,
From poverty to finding peace,
Each love, each failure, part of the release.
Verse 3:
Thirty years, working day and night,
Long days, dreaming in the quiet,
Of a future where I’d find,
Stability, a home that’s mine.
Verse 4:
At forty years, with a love so deep,
Together we built dreams to keep,
But life’s trials, unceasing and grand,
Taught us how to truly understand.
Chorus:
Life teaches us with time, oh yes,
From tears to moments of happiness,
From poverty to finding peace,
Each love, each failure, part of the release.
Verse 5:
Fifty years, and children grown,
Shared disappointments and joys known,
Every step, each mistake, a lesson clear,
In this journey called the heart, dear.
Verse 6:
Sixty years, love still by my side,
In the eyes of the one I never denied,
Stability, at last achieved,
With wisdom gained, and life perceived.
Chorus:
Life teaches us with time, oh yes,
From tears to moments of happiness,
From poverty to finding peace,
Each love, each failure, part of the release.
Bridge:
Seventy years, with scars and memories,
Stories of loves and days so weary,
But every laugh and every tear shed,
Forms the melody of this life we’ve led.
Verse 7:
Eighty years, at the journey’s end,
Looking back, with a heart to mend,
From poverty to peace, lessons vast,
Life is a rhythm, and I’m its cast.
Chorus:
Life teaches us with time, oh yes,
From tears to moments of happiness,
From poverty to finding peace,
Each love, each failure, part of the release.
