The older that we get
The more that we know
So baby don't fret
Were all going home
There is a fear I see
In people around me
They're scared that they grow
They're scared to get old
But when I look around me
An older face astounds me
With maps to their beautiful soul
So why are we so worried?
And always in a hurry
It's fine not to do what you're told
So think for yourself and smile young man
You're young; you're young when you're old
So think for yourself and smile young man
You're young; you're young when you're old
It's time that we forget
What people have said
They've implanted this fear in our bones
It's time that we remember to laugh every December
When the cold means the warmth is on it's way to the throne
But when I look around me
An older face astounds me
With maps to their beautiful soul
So why are we so worried?
And always in a hurry
It's fine not to do what you're told
So think for yourself and smile young man
You're young; you're young when you're old
So think for yourself and smile young man
You're young; you're young when you're old
So think for yourself and smile young man
You're young; you're young when you're old
So think for yourself and smile young man
You're young; you're young when you're old
So think for yourself and smile young man
You're young; you're young when you're old
So think for yourself and smile young man
You're young; you're young when you're old
You're young; you're young
You're young; you're young when you're old
You're young; you're young
You're young; you're young when you're old
