Stay Young
Sleeping peacefully without a care at all
Little do you know that we're all gonna fall
Down, way down
So young and careless
You have no awareness
All you do is eat and play
You don't understand what we have to say
It must be nice to young like you
Once upon a time I was young too
But then I grew older
And the world grew colder
I wish it was still the same way
I wish the young and careless days would stay
No one could break your heart
No one could tear you apart
You didn't worry about war
All the problems you could ignore
Cause you didn't know
That your parents money was running low
You didn't know you would have no home
How could you have known?
It must be nice to be that age
So full of love, you have no real rage
I was that age once upon a time
Then I grew up and knew what it was like when you didn't have a dime
To worry, would you eat the next night
Wondering, will everything be alright?
Will you survive?
Or will the next morning come and you'll no longer be alive
What it's like to have a broken heart
What it's like to be torn apart
What it's like be all alone
What it's like to feel unkown
But you are too young to know
Though there's much time until you grow
So enjoy what time you have still
I hope that you will
Kid, stay happy, you have nothing to worry about
But know, when you don't get what you want, don't scream and shout
Cause in life you don't always get everything you want
And you'll learn that one day
I have nothing left to say
I just wish I was younger again
I wish I could rewind five years, or ten
So stay young while you can
Cause you can't be young again
