“16 to 60” Anton du Preez You’re on the road and cruising quickly Rushing down the path that you see here To get to there We’re taught it’s not the destination The journey is for contemplation And yet we’re pressed ahead [Pre-Chorus] In life you choose the best you can Through all of the hopes and dreams you’ve planned [Chorus] From 16 to 60 You’ve traveled many roads and side streets And for 15, beside me The years have flown by But sometimes slowing down As we learn To stop and rest awhile And just enjoy the ride You’ve reached the place you’re meant to be It might not be the place you thought you’d see But you’re so filled with love and joy You’ve made it through so much, somehow So do the things you couldn’t until now There’s so much time left to enjoy [Pre-Chorus] [Chorus] [Chorus]

about

In 16 to 60, I wanted to explore the journey of one life through the metaphor of driving. As my husband, Dennis, was approaching his 60th birthday, I reflected on his life, our life together, and a song I wrote for his 50th. That one never reached beyond the walls of our house in Seattle at the time, and was too specific for it to make sense for anyone else. For this one, pretty much everyone can relate to the excitement of getting your license at 16 years old and flooring it to hit 60 on the highway for the first time. With so much opportunity and road ahead, we rush into life with our newfound freedom. With so many choices and paths to take, we’re sometimes pressed ahead on a path not chosen. We sometimes double back. We sometimes take a side road to return to our original path or even explore something new.
