Only Fourteen

They say that time moves fast,
when heart beats start to slow,
I look back to the past,
and recall all the things I still don't know
they cloud my mind,
they blur my eyes,
all I know,
is that I need more time.

5 years from now,
I'll be living the life,
diving head first into college strife.

Partying hard,
and cheering for,
our Bulldogs,
when they bring in a score.

10 years from now,
I'll be living the life,
a proud graduate,
and a soon-to-be wife.

building up,
our first home,
a wedding planner,
on the phone.

20 years from now,
I'll be living the dream,
my high-school love,
well now we're a team

A nervous new mother,
can't you tell?
arms happily filled,
with that new baby smell

35 years from now,
I'll be living the dream,
and I'll finally see,
what they mean,
life is slipping by,
it seems to me

giving up the keys,
to my teenage boy,
now my heartache,
once my biggest joy.

50 years from now,
I'll be praying to God,
to turn back the clock,
or stop my watch

I'm getting old,
and my babies are grown,
I've still got my love,
no, I'm not alone.

80 years from now,
I'll be praying to God,
thanking him for all I've got,
and repenting for all I have lost.

I've tried and I've prayed,
and I've been strong,
but even then,
I know I don't have long.

So carry me home,
greet me with open arms,
fly me away,
to where I belong.

Let me meet my heart,
but watch over my kids,
we can't restart,
this is just how life ends.

This could make people cry. It really could. It flows nicely, and the lyrics are simply brilliant. The time line idea is nicely used and I think you've really made it into something great. It's beautiful and thought-provoking. I do think you need a 'back to earth' line at the end, though. Maybe just "but that's then, living now, I'm only fourteen"... oaky, that wasn't the greatest line But you get what I mean!
Good job, Erica.

Lyrical and musical it´s great!
I´m not sure about content. If you mean this content with a sarcasm, it´s ok. If not, it seems to me too much adult for 14 years old, if you know what I mean. I think 14 years old should be careless and live with surprise every day not to have a schedule or plan for 80 years forward.
Anyway nice theme.

Maybe Hugo's right. Unless you're talking to someone who's 14... :/

Wow this is really good. Wow that's all I can say for now.

What's with all of the young, brilliant lyricists? Lol
