Thirty One Five: 2023 Edition

Feel free to download it.

Lyrics:

[Verse 1:]
Clap, clap, plus one
Let the ball drop
It’s a celebration
So they’re asking where the party’s at 
Anna might raise the roof
Another revolution leading to revelations
Can’t be aloof
Sliding on this track
Bear fruit 
Lemme go banana
From Monday to Sunday 
Grateful that this loving Tribe is still my family 
It’s so cray
Thirty One Five
It’s about to be a lovely day
My “Magic” year
It’s so sweet
Time’s running with speed
Like Keanu Reeves 
Wait
Conquered fears, lost weight 
Just look at me
Still, life’s much more than what I’ve achieved 
So much is happening
A little time to breathe
So much is happening
A bit much to grieve
Open book
Lamentations since childhood 
Yahweh gives and takes
Even then, He’s still good 

[Chorus:]
You say, I drive too fast, move too fast, live too fast
A’int no such thing as too fast
Moving at my pace with grace
I age well, celebrating, and I’m seeking His face
You say, I drive too fast, move too fast, live too fast
A’int no such thing as too fast
Nah, I haven’t arrived
But each year, I’ll strive
And keep singing “Thirty One Five”

[Verse 2:]
I’m a winner
Going through whatever 
Shattering all these cycles like the changes in the weather
In rainfall and hail storms
I stay calm
Cause holy Psalms I recall
No Schwarzenegger (Total)
God governs my life
So, whom shall I fear when the God of living armies is by my side?
He’s my ride and die
Like Yamaha 
We’re flying high
Like Tomahawk
Together forever
Elf and the shoemaker 
Gospel on my feet
Shout out to Converse nation
Jesus is centre of my conversation 
He’s my delight
I got words about the Word
Meditating on Him day and night
I’ve done right
I’ve been wrong
But He cracked open my sternum
No returning
He’s given me a new song
I conform to His will 
And holiness, that’s my uniform

[Chorus:]
You say, I drive too fast, move too fast, live too fast
A’int no such thing as too fast
Moving at my pace with grace
I age well, celebrating, and I’m seeking His face
You say, I drive too fast, move too fast, live too fast
A’int no such thing as too fast
Nah, I haven’t arrived
But each year, I’ll strive
And keep singing “Thirty One Five”

[Verse 3:]
Building blocks
New levels and new dimensions
Learning lessons like high school is still in session
Stay the course
Take notes
No remorse
Know the source
Still, Soli Deo Gloria, end of discussion 
I don’t have it all together
I stay confessing
They say age is just a number but it is a blessing
Yeah
You know I’m in my zone
On the microphone
It’s been too long 
I’m here now

God, You’re so faithful
And I’m grateful for all You’ve done

Light a di world, so mek mi switch it up
Every burden, light or heavy, Yuh a lift it up
Years to come, and all now, mi affi big Yuh up
Joy and glory a di end a dis ya bitter cup
Yuh still enough

[Chorus:]
You say, I drive too fast, move too fast, live too fast
A’int no such thing as too fast
Moving at my pace with grace
I age well, celebrating, and I’m seeking His face
You say, I drive too fast, move too fast, live too fast
A’int no such thing as too fast
Nah, I haven’t arrived
But each year, I’ll strive
And keep singing “Thirty One Five”

[Outro:]
Every day is a new adventure
Each day that’s given, start it with prayer
Tell your family and friends, I really love you
And if you’re hurting right now, just let me hug you
Treat everything you get as if from the Father
Learn to steward it well, even in sorrow
As always, love, pray, be
Serve well and be the change that you want to see
Be free
