Today I had my 50th birthday 
and I'm proud to have been here so long 
Especially in the hard times we live in 
To be ashamed of your age is wrong. 
It's only those who are insecure with them selfs 
that lie about their age 
To me life is an adventure story and 
every year is just another page. 
I believe in happy endings, and I'm 
not ready to end it yet. 
There's so many things I haven't done 
So many people I haven't met. 
So if you think that fifty is the end 
Then that's the way it will be 
But I'm going to stick around for awhile 
because I'm proud to be me.
