  • Another night in any town
    You can hear the thunder of their cry
    Ahead of their time
    They wonder why

    Shadows of a golden age
    A generation waits for dawn
    Brave carry on
    Bold and the strong

    Only the young can say
    They're free to fly away
    Sharing the same desire
    Burnin' like wildfire

    They're seein' through the promises
    And all the lies they dare to tell
    Is it heaven or hell?
    They know very well

    Only the young can say
    They're free to fly away
    Sharing the same desire
    Burnin' like wildfire

    Only the young can say
    They're free to fly away
    Sharing the same desire
    Burnin' like wildfire

    Only the young can say
    Only the young can say
    Only the young can say
    Only the young can say
    Young can say
    Only the young can say Writer/s: Jonathan Cain, Neal Schon, Steve Perry

  • Chad Eicher from Apple Creek, OhioScandal did that song for their "Warrior" album in 1984 that also featured "The Warrior."
  • KerriJourney use to rock with Steve as lead. New singer is good. But he is a substitute. Too bad all the old pain will not heal for those 3 guys. They are adults I think.
  • Scott from ScJourney is my favorite band and this is my favorite Journey song. I could listen to it over and over.
