  • 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
