Young As You

(album: It's All In The Game - 1985)

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
Sweating too hard to make it last
You fight to be like all the heroes
But you're coming 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)
