Be Young

And I'll tell you a story when you need it I'll sing a song then Read a poem from Leaves of Grass Paint a smile with what you are And when you give in I'll live for you a minute And all our things When you believe you're not enough And I believe there's nothing wrong If you're not scared of my fears then Just tell me yours so we can find A shelter in the dead of the night So come here So just take my hand And we'll find a place Free from the heartbreak That's not windy, so windy Think you've seen it all Like 5 seconds ago You're just tired of this city, this city I wish for you to be young I hope you live the wonderful life that is in you I wish you'd stop worrying about the future And think about it with optimism I hope you embrace being light and content I hope you laugh about nothing And find beauty in the smallest of things I hope you love all imperfections And wear the colours of the world I hope you fall in love, madly And maybe get your heart broken and grow from it I hope you find good friends who love you for who you are I hope you have good families that listen to you And good teachers that see you I wish you never feel lost, but if you do I wish you know it's okay and I promise we'll be alright I hope you make mistakes and learn from them I hope you give yourself time to discover who you are And the type of person that you want to be I wish for you to be kind and for life to treat you kindly And I hope you dream big And I hope you are free I wish you to learn every day, in every minute detail In every book that you read, in every song that you sing In every word that you hear, from every soul that you meet I've been pouring all I have into you Still emptiness I hope you heal from all those things The things that you don't talk to me The worlds too big for you to think small Life ain't big enough For everything that's in your mind And everything that you desire So come here So just take my hand And we'll find a place Free from the heartbreak That's not windy, so windy Think you've seen it all Like 5 seconds ago You're tired of this city, of this city It's such a wonderful world And it doesn't go backwards, it only goes forwards So be young and enjoy it
