Soprano, Alto, Tenor, Bass and piano
Inspired by a conversation between Skipinnish co-founder and songwriter Angus MacPhail and Alistair Campbell about staying 'young of mind and heart' and their shared love of running.
An upbeat and stirring song, with a contemplative middle section - 'Fleeting flames in worlds vast'.
Time goes by like the winter winds
And the decades fly as the world spins
Where it goes we’ll never know and cannot save.
We all must live before we leave
Achieve to give and to believe.
As the years disappear like tears on the ocean wave.
Forever Young and still we run
Living dreams that seem to move with the rainbow’s gold.
Forever Young and still we run
And we’ll run for the sun and the years won’t leave us old.
How long our time we’ll never know
But up we’ll climb and on we’ll go.
Keeping pace and grace in the race of the roads we tread.
At age eighteen or eighty-five
Whatever’s been you are alive
So drive for the prize, your lifetime lies ahead.
Go by the creed of those we see,
The blessed breed who hold the key,
The rare who dare not care for the age they are.
And meet the day and hit the night
Fight hard and play and chase the light
And dance to a tune by the moon and the morning star.
Fleeting flames in worlds vast
We all too soon become the past.
As glow and shadow guide our way
Pray long the path but live the day.
