I'm Not the Same Anymore Soon I'll be sixty-six years old, I've walked many miles along the way. Seen dreams arrive and dreams fade out, watched some stay and some drift away. I don't need to impress anyone, whether poor or rich alike. Because every year has taught me something: I'm no longer who I was inside. When you grow as a human being, you don't remain the same as before. You leave old thoughts behind you, and only some people stay ashore. But others start to wonder if the change is really true. As if every step you're taking forward must be questioned through and through. Chorus No, I'm not the man I used to be. Sixty-six years in life's great school have left their marks, but I'm still me. Let them talk and let them doubt, let them say what they will. I've grown stronger through the years, while others are standing still, even if they don't want to. When your value starts increasing, and your worth grows quietly inside, not everyone will cheer for you when you find a brand-new sense of life. For the one who dares keep growing, leaving old wounds far behind, becomes a reminder to others of the dreams they never dared to find. Bridge I've stopped looking for approval, stopped playing someone else's role. There's a freedom that comes with growing older, and taking back control of your soul. Chorus I'm not the same anymore, no, I'm not the man I was before. Sixty-six years in life's great school have left their marks, but I'm still standing strong. Let them talk and let them doubt, let them say what they will. I've grown stronger through the years, while others are standing still, even if they don't want to. Ending The days that pass so easily can quickly turn into years, while life just keeps on moving. But every step that brought me here is a part of who I am. I'm not the same anymore, and that's exactly how it's meant to be.
