Lyrics
Challenging the Grey
©  April 6, 2022  Stan Loh. A song about refusing to grow old!
Intro: A/  E   A
Verse 1
The wind feels colder now that I’m older,
My feet can feel the snow when I’m in bed,
The furrows on my face creeps right over the smooth,
But this brain keeps on thinking and ticking looking for groove,
Pumping my heart, like a jumpstart!
Chorus 
I’m challenging the grey at the ebb of my life,
I’d die a billionaire! Friends may deride!
In time I’d be a tree,
Just plant a seed to set me free,
Verse 2
I’m a bloody optimist, ain’t that a secret?
I readily speak my mind I ain’t afraid,   
In these twilight years don’t no name to turn the page,
These old bones do the fighting from falling off the stage,
I’m versatile! So make me smile!
Repeat Bridge twice

Being 60 now, I can relate to those words as well. 
Another wonderful song Stan with a very clear sound.
I don't understand : My feet can feel the snow when I’m in bed :-)

Your songwriting abilities are always impressive. And the way you sing reminds me of Bob Neuwrith (Bob Dylan's compadre and super fine songwriter)... It's all good.

Really enjoyed this song Stan, " I can relate - going on 78 " I really enjoyed your story and an optimist myself, but we cannot turn back the clock or know what the future holds as far as our health goes. You have written so many wonderful songs, I admire your song writing abilities 👍 Excellent Job

This song is spot on… We all have to deal with getting older sometimes it's a good thing and sometimes it isn't. Great songwriting.
