Pass The Torch

(album: Sunrise - 2022)

The world is always changing
You'll never catch up if you chase it
So you'll have to slow it down
The next generation
Is gearing up to face it
And we have to show them how

I wanna tell the kids
Your youth is a gift
Don't let moment slip by
I've learned to call it like it is
'Cause I've been on the wave
So long I'm getting sunburnt

Pass the torch, pass the torch on down to them
Just speak up and strike hard like lightning and thunder
Pass the torch, pass the torch on down to them
And I've been spitting truth so long that my tongue hurt

I'm rocking steady now
I'm low key anyhow
I've got the vodka with the lemonade
I need no limelight
I'll be just fine
The world I'm fighting for
Late night on silent coast
I'm checking boxes off the bucket
And don't ever waste time
If you wanna good life

I wanna tell the kids
Your youth is a gift
Don't let moment slip by
I've learned to call it like it is
'Cause I've been on the wave
So long

Pass the torch, pass the torch on down to them
Just speak up and strike hard like lightning and thunder
Pass the torch, pass the torch on down to them
And I've been spitting truth so long that my tongue hurt

I'm still growing up
Learning how to love
But I've seen enough to give me the strength
To guide the younger blood
Through the coming floods
No more talking tough
We're melting down the cuffs
Take the steel and build the broken cities back up
Mother, daughter, sons
No matter where you're from
We all live and die together, everybody is one

Pass the torch, pass the torch on down to them
Just speak up and strike hard like lightning and thunder
Pass the torch, pass the torch on down to them
And I've been spitting truth so long that my tongue hurt
