We chase the rising sun Before we learn to run We are, we are the young Oh yah The cigarettes of hopeful dreamers Are burning up the air we breath like nicotine for our beliefs that we live, we live for something more But the truth is on the ground You better settle down To see whats right Ive come the figure out That years are not the mountains We all fear to climb Watching the days go by Is like counting train cars at a railroad light Life's not made by the nights That pass while were waiting for change to arrive But it's never to late too wake up and break yourself free Fall down just to make yourself bleed Sing loud till your lungs give out Cause we are, we are, we are, we are the young Sometimes the path we run Leads us right throught the midday sun We're blistered and broken, twisted but hoping We just might survive it So take the pain, but don't let it break you Let it carry you away and shake your soul Like an earthquake inside your mind Watching the days go by Is like counting train cars at a railroad light And life's not made by the nights That pass while we're waiting for change to arrive But it's never to late to wake upand break yourself free Fall down just to make yourself bleed Sing loud till your lungs give out Cause we are, we are, we are, we are the youngs Watching the days go by Is like counting train cars at a railroad light And life's not made by the nights That pass while we're waiting for change to arrive But it's never to late to wake upand break yourself free Fall down just to make yourself bleed Sing loud till your lungs give out Cause we are, we are, we are, we are the youngs Your just sitting their sitting at a green light
