ballad of youth

growing up today

there's many mountains you must climb

you're not the only one

'cause everybody's on that line

hey mister know it all

what do you recommend

you think you know the answers

but the questions never end

young hearts better hold on

beyond the innocence

your youth is gone

so look in your mirror

you got nothing to lose

don't waste your time away

thinkin' 'bout yesterday's blues

born outta passion

to a world gone cold

ya wear it on your shoulders

it's a heavy

heavy load i know

love and its emotions

come knocking at your door

young hearts will be broken

and time's the only cure

young hearts better hold on

beyond the innocence

your youth is gone

so look in your mirror

it'll tell you the truth

don't waste your life away

thinkin' 'bout yesterday's blues

temptation makes us fall from grace

but the angels were sinners

and the sinners saints

forgive yourself cause we're all the same

everybody rides on the karma train

young hearts

better hold on

beyond the innocence

your youth is gone

look in your mirror

it'll tell you the truth

don't waste your time away

don't waste your life away

no

no

live today

there's no time to lose

cause when tomorrow comes

it's all just yesterday's news

all just yesterday news
