Official Lyrics

(As published on Genius under “The Academic Boardroom”)

[Intro]

Welcome back to our table. You are tuned in with Dr. J & Dr. E. Pull up a chair, and listen in.

[Verse]

Don’t sell yourself short, give your life a fair chance

This is your time to step up and advance

Out of the ashes, a new life is born

Silver hair shines in the bright early morn

 

Break through the barriers, conquer the fears

Wisdom and power grow strong through the years

Stand up and claim what is rightfully yours

Opening up all the newly found doors

 

Never too late for a dream to ignite

Step out of shadow and into the light

Act three is calling, the journey is serene

Hold on to grace with the heart of a queen

Podcast Score Summary

The theme song for this episode distills Diane Gilman’s message on reinvention into an anthem. The first line sets the stage for why the audience should pull up a chair; it reminds us not to sell ourselves short and to give life’s later chapters a chance. In other words, life after 50 must be viewed as a rebirth, with new life rising from the ashes of a series of hardships and silver hair taking its dignified course.

The second verse deals with empowerment by encouraging people to break down walls and obstacles, confront their fears, and understand that the emerging wisdom and strength mature with age. They’re encouraged to claim their rightful gems and walk toward the doors opening before them.

One would herald here at the call of the third act, and the song gives out its final note in pieces of elegance and confidence of a queen, reiteratively echoing Diane’s own faith that such years are indeed one’s active years of life.
