This is about someone who's lost their way and finds it by being inspired by a younger generation doing all the things he knows he is capable of doing. ( If they can do it, so can I)
lyrics
Look at all the fine young people
passing me by
Now I know there's got to be
another way, a better way
Sitting on my ass for years I've
fallen behind
I didn't know that time would go
so quickly through the grind
Now I look at the fine young people
They blow my mind
Here I go my mountain will be climbed
I'm on my way, I'm doing fine
I'm living life again, I'm living life
No more delay, no killing time
I'm living life again, I'm living life
When I was young I never doubted
all I could do
I didn't know enough to not believe in me
I believed in me
But then I felt what fear and failure
can put you through
Without a sound it dragged me down
to depths I never new
Then I looked at the fine young people
They blew my mind
Here I go my mountain will be climbed
I'm on my way, I'm doing fine
I'm living life again, I'm living life
God bless my days, God bless my nights
I'm living life again, I'm living life
Now I look at the fine young people
They blow my mind
Here I go my mountain will be climbed
I'm on my way, I'm doing fine
I'm living life again, I'm living life
No more delay, no killing time
I'm living life again, I'm living life
I'm on my way, I'm doing fine
I'm living life again, I'm living life
No more delay, no killing time
I'm living life again, I'm living life
I'm on my way, I'm doing fine
I'm living life again, I'm living life
God bless my days, God bless my nights
I'm living life again, I'm living life
Look at all the fine young people
passing me by
Now I know there's got to be
another way, a better way

Phil Dutra grew up loving AM Pop music in New York City. But as he traveled the U.S. and soaked up Soul, Country, Folk and
Southern Rock, his writing reached new levels.
Now, he takes all these influences, his love of Melodic songs, filled with catchy hooks and heartfelt lyrics and pours these elements into his emotional Retro-Pop sound!
