celebrate youth

i can see the older man

looking at the younger man

i can see the younger man

looking at the boy

over there the older woman

is looking at the younger woman

i can see the younger woman

looking at the girl

'cause every man sees

in the younger man the hope

and every woman sees

in the younger girl the dream

everybody lives

the pride and passion of the young

from the womb to the tomb

we will remember what it means

so celebrate youth

those who have it

celebrate youth

give them sight

the future of the world's in the

hands of children

so celebrate youth

teach them right

looking in a child's eye

there's no hate and there's no lie

there's no black and there's no white

i can see the older man

sometimes in the older man

i still see the young boy

burning in his eye

and locked up here inside our spirit

is the child that we are

hear it

some of us will always fear it

and some will heed the cry

but everybody sees

in the younger one the hope

everybody sees

in the younger one the dream

everybody lives

the pride and passion of the young

from the womb to the tomb

we will remember what it means

celebrate youth

those who have it

celebrate youth

give them sight

the future of the world's in the

hands of children

so celebrate youth

teach them right

looking in a child's face

there's no pride and no disgrace

there's no struggle

there's no fight

everybody sees

in the younger one the hope

everybody sees

in the younger one the dream

everybody lives

the pride and passion of the young

from the womb to the tomb

we will remember what it means

looking in a child's eye

there's no hate and there's no lie

there's no black and there's no white
