Young, stay young
|
Stay strong, don't get on with it
|
Gone, way gone with it
|
It's all done with it
|
You're all done
|
|
All my friends are running to live
|
On corners
|
Hurters and the haters and the faders
|
And the mourners
|
|
The world goes to its work and it heads not gentle
|
And what it breaks you down into
|
All my friends are looking in life
|
And it's a lone, lone, lone, lonely child
|
I said that when you met I was just tired
|
I said it to know, I said it in silence
|
|
Young, stay young
|
And face y'all now, our time to quit
|
Strong, stay strong
|
Mind blowing that y'all drum sick
|
|
All these hateful people judging and hand bringing
|
Lord, why don't you bury me in all they call sinning?
|
Open up your heart, show me the place where love is missing
|
How long have you been missing love?
|
I said all creation posing and diving up between them
|
Now you have to live it up because my head is spinning
|
|
I try, try hard
|
To talk with you
|
And talk your god
|
Of love, of trust
|
Just me and your love
|
|
And I call to all my friends
|
All the cracked could set a thriller
|
All the hand inside a tiller
|
And a hundred job a biller
|
Settled by the stone
|
I was rejected by the builder
|
There was drinking out the thought
|
They carried from the bloody building
|
Never let it be said that it wasn't really
|
The shit I know you're missing, girl
|
Then I'll pass the edges of the earth and make it wider
|
I see you're crying
|
Don't you know it's killing me?
|
|
I climb, climb up, way up
|
To see the sun
|
One, one job
|
One life, one love
|
Is all we got
|
|
Young, stay young
|
Get tough
|
Get hard with this
|
Young, stay young
|
Heart racing, sky raining
|
Young, I said let it come
|
Let it come
|
Stay young
|
Stay young
|
|

Stay Young
