Lyrics

Young Lion

Young man, it's been so heavy for you You must have felt so alone The anguish and pain I should've known With such a heavy burden You had to carry all on your own Forgive me, son I should've known So close your eyes And feel the light You shine like a sun Shine like a sun Young gun See how far you've come You were hiding down Where you almost drowned Then a light like yours You can't put out You shine like a sun Shine like a sun Young gun So run down the mountains Run down the hills of your dream You are everything You have everything you need So run down the mountains Run down the hills of your dreams Feel the light Shine like a sun Young gun See how far you've come
