prepare the body

My brother starts chemotherapy in less than 48 hours. Prepare the body as one prepares the mind. So off came the hair. This song just seemed so....fitting. We used to play it when my son was a newborn and began losing his hair so it holds a very hopeful and special place in the hearts of me and my wife.

I looked in the mirror today

My eyes just didn't seem so bright

I've lost a few more hairs

I think I'm going bald

I think I'm going bald

Seems like only yesterday

We would sit and talk of dreams all night

Dreams of youth

And simple truths

Now we're so involved

So involved with life

Walk down vanity fair

Memory lane everywhere

Wall Street shuffles there

Dressed in flowing hair

Once we loved the flowers

Now we ask the price of the land

Once we would take water

But now it must be wine

Now we've been

And now we've seen

What price peace of mind

Take a piece of my mind

My life is slipping away

I'm aging every day

But even when I'm grey

I'll still be grey my way....yeah!
