You Are Young

Fearful child, have faith in brighter days

Stay home till this darkness fades away

Lie still beside me

I'll hold you now, I'll hold you forever

Winter's hand will freeze your heart again

Doors will close, no time to start again

Nothing is given

Except the ties that hold us together

Lay down your load 'cause every day it's gonna grow

And bask in the sunshine, try to pay no mind

Try to pay no mind at all

To all the things that you don't know

You've got time to realize, you're shielded by the hands of love

'Cause you are young

Fading light may make a fool of me

Courage fails, strength slips away from me

Lie still beside me

And hold me now and hold me forever

Lay down your load 'cause every day it's gonna grow

These days are sacred, hey now, don't be scared

Baby, don't be scared at all

Of all the things that you don't know

You've got time to realize, you're shielded by the hands of love

'Cause you are young

You got time, you gotta try

To bring some good into this world

'Cause you are young

'Cause you are young

Oh, oh, oh, oh

Oh, oh, oh, oh

Oh, oh, oh, oh

Oh, oh, oh, oh

Oh, oh, oh, oh

Oh, oh, oh, oh

'Cause you are young
