Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Too much to say, too much to lose
I get frustrated thinking 'bout the world I brought you to
[Verse 2]
It's a battle of time that I have with you
But don't decide the how, the when or if we'll make it through
[Verse 3]
I feel that you deserve a chance to know the truth and to be better than
The ones who came before you only to let pride and money weaken them
[Verse 4]
So be the young, the brave, the powerful
'Cause the world is standing waiting
For someone to come and change it
Yeah, be the young, the brave, the powerful
'Cause we need a soul to save us
Need someone to be the greatest
[Verse 5]
So many words veiling the truth
The Earth is turning and it's time for us to choose
And people will try to take you down too
But if I was a betting man, I'd put all my money on you
[Verse 6]
I know that I have nothing left to give to you to make you better than
The man I failed to be, the friend and father that I know I should have been
[Verse 7]
So be the young, the brave, the powerful
'Cause the world is standing waiting
For someone to come and change it
Yeah, be the young, the brave, the powerful
'Cause we need a soul to save us
Need someone to be the greatest
[Verse 8]
Nobody knows what to say (Oh, no)
Nobody shows you the way (Oh, no)
Sometimes it's hard to see who you're gonna be
[Verse 9]
So be the young, the brave, the powerful
'Cause the world is standing waiting
For someone to come and change it
Be the young, the brave, the powerful
'Cause we need a soul to save us
Need someone to be the greatest
[Verse 10]
Be the young, the brave, the powerful
'Cause the world is standing waiting
For someone to come and change it
Be the young, the brave, the powerful
'Cause we need a soul to save us
Need someone to be the greatest love
