Oh very young waiting on the world to change

Tony Soprano takes peyote and screams at the top of his lungs "I got it!, I got it" Another scene to add to the cinerama in my head at any given moment. What does he got? Guess we'll see sunday nite. Only 3 episodes left. TV families are missed from time to time and this will be a hole for a little bit.
Meanwhile, "I got it" for a brief moment. Listening to Cat Stevens then and now, as well as John Mayer now.When I was a whopping 14 yrs old in 1975, the Cat Stevens melody always reminded me of a preaching old man, who didn't get it right the 1st time. Fast Forward to 2007 and the same song feels so different. Is it the old man who didn't get it right the first time OR did he get it right to his satisfaction and he so desperately wants to pass along how fast the time really goes.? I lean toward the latter now because that's where I am . Music, the great inkblot test.

Oh Very Young - Cat Stevens

Oh Very Young
What will you leave us this time?
You're only dancing on this earth
For a short while
And though your dreams may toss
And turn you now
They will vanish away
Like your dad's best jeans
Denim Blue faded up to the sky
And though you want him to last
Forever you know he never will
(You know he never will)
And the patches
Make the goodbye harder still

Oh very young
What will you leave us this time
There'll never be a better chance
To change your mind
And if you want this world
To see a better day
Will you carry
The words of love with you
Will you ride
The great white bird into heaven.
And though you want to last
Forever you know you never will
(You know you never will)
And the goodbye
Makes the journey harder still

Oh very young
What will you leave us this time
You're only dancing on this earth
For a short while
Oh Very young
What will you leave us this time.
