I See It Now

Lyrics

You think you've got it made, my friend
 But, oh, the kick is brief
 And suddenly you're shattered
 By the budding of a leaf
 You must not fail to see it
 All the wonder of the thing
 It's a miracle that hits you
 Not just another spring
 That year in Oakland High
 When I was 17
 The grass from there to San Jose
 Was high and cool and green
 I see it now
 ♪
 Too brash and young was I
 To know what time could mean
 The old acacia
 Long cut down was felt but never seen
 I see it now
 That world I knew is lost to me
 Loves have come and gone
 The years go racing by
 I live as best as I can
 And all at once
 I know it means the making of a man
 I see it now
 I see it now
 I see it now
