Lyrics:[Verse 1]The mirror keeps a ledger of the years I've spentSoft folds and silver markings, every small lamentBut underneath the surface, in the engine of the cellA quiet fire is fading where the young years used to dwell [Pre-Chorus]I won't surrender gently, I won't just let it slideThere's a science in the silence, and I've got it on my side [Chorus]So I'll fight with grace, I'll fight with reason in my handsNo fountain and no fairy tale, just truth I understandEvery molecule a question, every cell a tale to tellGrowing older, growing wiser, learning how to live it well [Verse 2]The mitochondria flicker, the NAD runs thinResveratrol and curcumin, the data written inIt's not a thirty-day illusion, not a potion you can buyJust an honest, careful reckoning with how we live and die [Bridge]The body's like a factory, the workers grow so tiredBut knowledge is the kindling, and a choice can light the fireWalk it slowly, talk it over, with a healer by your sideNot to cheat the clock forever — just to take the years in stride [Final Chorus]So I'll fight with grace, I'll fight with reason in my handsNo fountain and no fairy tale, just truth I understandEvery molecule a question, every cell a tale to tellGrowing older, growing wiser, learning how to live it well
