You Are Young

[Verse 1]

Fearful child have faith in brighter days

Stay home 'til this darkness fades away

Lie still beside me

I'll hold you now, I'll hold you forever

[Verse 2]

Winter's hand will freeze your heart again

Doors will close, no time to start again

Nothing is given

Except the ties that hold us together

[Chorus 1]

Lay down your load

Cause every day it's gonna grow

And bask in the sunshine

Try to pay no mind, try to pay no mind at all

To all the things that you don't know

You've got time to realize

You're shielded by the hands of love

Cause you are young

[Verse 3]

Fading light may make a fool of me

Courage fails, strengths slip away from me

Lie still beside me

And hold me now, and hold me forever

[Chorus 2]

Lay down your load

Cause every day it's gonna grow

These days are sacred

Hey now, don't be scared, baby, don't be scared at all

Of all the things that you don't know

You've got time to realize

You're shielded by the hands of love

Cause you are young

[Bridge]

You've got time, you've got to try

To bring some good into this world

Cause you are young

Cause you are young

[Outro]

Oh-oh-oh

Cause you are young
