Young one rises from the nest Bid him farewell and all the best With all the tools to love and grow And all the right from wrong you know Now and then It's hard to choose which way to go Trust a chosen few Don't trust yourself When you're low Once in a while when liberty smiles You're free to pick up the pieces Then you're squeezing the stone Trying to find your way home But don't drag tomorrow down Th heart of trust is well and good You run the risk that's understood Trusting from the mind just might Keep you up with the doubt all night Find yourself a love Or hope that it finds you Before you're through The best that you can give Is the best of you Before you're through Once in a while when liberty smiles You're free to pick up the pieces Then you're squeezing the stone Trying to find your way home But don't drag tomorrow down Don't drag tomorrow down Well in light of it And in spite of it We all find our way home The periphery is distracting me That's no way to be Look how much you have grown Once in a while when liberty smiles You're free to pick up the pieces Stay single file and give us a smile Everyone picks up the pieces Until we're squeezing the stone Trying to find our way home But don't drag tomorrow down Don't drag tomorrow down, oh yeah Well don't drag!
