Young as you lyrics

You're a young bravado

A bandit playing pirate games

Wear a coat of rebel anger

Call it by another name

Hey you - so many years to go

Too young to be so serious

Hang on to your spirit

And become adventurous

At times you might be on your own

Climbing new frontiers

And if you're frightened of the dark, you're not alone

Try to persevere

When you're as...

Young as you

You are strong and innocent

Young as you

You long to be different

Young as you

You're a weekend warrior

Sweatin' too hard to make it last

You fight to be like all the heroes

But you're comin' down way too fast

Hey you - lay down your sticks and stones

Cause you're only hurting yourself

Forget about your ego

Look inside someone else

At times you might be on your own

Climbing new frontiers

And if you're frightened of the dark, you're not alone

Try to persevere

When you're as...

Young as you

You are strong and innocent

Young as you

You long to be different

Young as you

When you're as young as you

Young as you

Young as you (young as you)

Young as you (young as you)

Young as you (young as you)

When you're as young as you

Young but never wise enough (young as you)

Young as you

You're not too young to rise above (young as you)

Young as you (young as you)

Young as you (young as you)
