When you are young
When you are young
Everything appears as a dream
You don't ever worry 'bout tomorrow
Everything will work out, you believe

When you are young
When you are young
The world is so bright and new
You are unafraid of distant dangers
Years are not just fears to suffer through

When you are young
You're so dumb

When you are young
When you are young
You feel your spirit is unique
Inside, you are somehow different
From all the other people that you meet

When you are young
When you are young
You think your happiness can last
You will never waste your joyful future
In desperate longing for the past

When you are young
You're so dumb

When you are young
When you are young
Everyone else is old
To you, their actions seem so crazy
So hopeless, bitter, and so cold

When you are young
When you are young
Your [bad word] so easily
You can not imagine the sad monster
Your reflection will soon be

When you are young
You're so dumb
Have fun
Have fun
For all too soon
The dream is done
