Nen

Woke up this morning, checked on the date

Staring at the screen like I cannot relate

The calendar's moving, the pages just fold

Saying to myself, "Damn, Nen, you're getting old"

Let out a little "Ugh" when I saw the truth

Wondering what happened to my early youth

But I look in the glass, and what do I see?

Still got the rhythm, still beautifully me

Thirty-nine, yeah, the number sounds crazy

Looking at the math and my vision gets hazy

I might be older, but I'm holding my own

Stepping right into the grace I have grown

Yeah, Nen, you're thirty-nine today

Gotta brush that shock and the panic away

It’s a brand new level, let the story unfold

Ain't nothing wrong with a little bit old

I just can't believe it, how the time really flew

Blinked a couple times and the decades just grew

Used to think this age was so far down the line

Now I'm standing right at the edge of thirty-nine

Got the wisdom, got the stride, got the confident pace

Wearing every year with a smile on my face

It’s a shock to the system, but I'm catching the beat

Every single step is feeling complete

So goodbye to the worry, let the baseline play

I'm celebrating myself on this beautiful day

Last year of the thirties, gonna make it shine bright

Yeah, the number is heavy, but the feeling is light

I'm claiming the journey, every laugh, every tear

Stepping up strong to this brand new year

'Cause thirty-nine, yeah, the number sounds crazy

Looking at the math and my vision gets hazy

I might be older, but I'm holding my own

Stepping right into the grace I have grown

Yeah, Nen, you're thirty-nine today

Gotta brush that shock and the panic away

It’s a brand new level, let the story unfold

Ain't nothing wrong with a little bit old
