When you are young When you are young Everything appears as a dream You don't ever worry 'bout tomorrow Everything will work out, you believe When you are young When you are young The world is so bright and new You are unafraid of distant dangers Years are not just fears to suffer through When you are young You're so dumb When you are young When you are young You feel your spirit is unique Inside, you are somehow different From all the other people that you meet When you are young When you are young You think your happiness can last You will never waste your joyful future In desperate longing for the past When you are young You're so dumb When you are young When you are young Everyone else is old To you, their actions seem so crazy So hopeless, bitter, and so cold When you are young When you are young Your beauty comes so easily You can not imagine the sad monster Your reflection will soon be When you are young You're so dumb Have fun Have fun For all too soon The dream is done
