Lyric discussion by acahill1962 

Correct. He was 16 and at that age it doesn't seem like he could have lived enough years for all that emotion. Just goes to show you how incredibly smart and in tune this man truly is. There's a version of this song by Ian Matthews, which I think is on his album, "Some Days You Eat The Bear". Both are beautiful.

As a decades-old-man, and all that means, it blows my mind that these lyrics where written by a 16 year-old boy. Wow.
