Year of the Young

I'm gonna say what you said

I'm gonna do what you did

I won't remember you died

I will remember you lived

You said

Don't you stand by my grave, no, don't you stand there and cry

I'm the trees and the birds

I'm the soft stars that shine at night

'Cause I'm not there, I did not die

No, I'm not there, I did not die

This year we lost more than we can count

The ashes we laid in the ground

Oh, this was the year of the young

This year we look up towards the sun

And wonder where everyone's gone

Oh, this was the year of the young

I'm gonna stand by your words

I'm gonna learn to forgive

You said you rather go young than to be dead while you live

You said I know you're old in your soul

But always run like a kid

I'm the rain, I'm the grass

I'm the soft blowing summer winds

'Cause I'm not there, I did not die

No, I'm not there, I did not die

This year we lost more than we can count

The ashes we laid in the ground

Oh, this was the year of the young

This year we look up towards the sun

And wonder where everyone's gone

Oh, this was the year of the young
