I'm gonna give the answer on my rock lyrics from earlier, I think you may have to be a big fan of this artist to get it. My song was 'Minutes to Memories' by John Mellencamp, who I consider one of the greatest American songwriters. It's told as a story of a young man (John) riding a bus home, with an old man teaching him life lessons. It's sort of a rock version of 'The Gambler." Here is the chorus, it's from the perspective of the old man speaking to the younger man.

"Days turn to minutes, and minutes to memories,"
"Life sweeps away the dreams that we had planned,"
"You are young, yeah, you are the future,"
"Suck it up, tough it out, be the best you can."

Google it, it's a great song. It was on Mellencamp's Scarecrow album, which is one of the all-time best. That album also had 'Small Town', 'Rain on the Scarecrow.' 'R.O.C.K. in the USA,", 'Rumble Seat," 'Justice and Independence,", probably Mellencamp's greatest album.
