It's not the youth which isn't working It's just your ideals growing old It's not a whole lost generation Much more your life which is on hold So break some bones if you feel uncertain And once they've healed you'll love them more Tear down some fences on your way out Become the person we adore Oh we adore you And since we know things grow with distance Go off and write some memories To be long told to those who will never Become as brave as wise as you Oh we fear for your love for us to fade Like lightnings we fight for your attention We need you to take to the skies To come back together we will rise
