You Are Young Lyrics

Fearful child, have faith in brighter days

Stay until this darkness fades away

Lie still beside me

I’ll hold you now, I’ll hold you forever

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

Lay down your load

Because every day it’s going to 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

Because you are young

Fading light may make a fool of me

Courage fail, strength slip away from me

Lie still beside me

And hold me now and hold me forever

Lay down your load

Because every day it’s going to 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

Because you are young

You’ve got time, you’ve got to try to bring some good into this world

Because you are young
