This song tells about his life and how he worked his way to glory. The hardships he went thru to gain success and the times he had wen he was 16 and how the times have changed now he's 36 and ready to start it all again just like old days, he talks abt the time that disappears just so quick and not a moment to tink and react to the things that's already gone worng but he's optimistic and wants to change things in life. Later he talks abt his children and their children and telling them the things he did and how a party goer he was, but throughout the song he is intent of telling people to enjoy the life as time is precious and make the most of it.
