I will tell you a story if you die
I will tell you a story and keep you alive,
the best I can
I will tell them to the children
if we have some, if we have some 

but I've always felt the feeling we would die young
some die young, some die young 
some, some die young

but you better hold on
so many things I need to say to you
please don't, don't let me go
and we said we would die together
some die young

but you better hold on
so many things I need to say to you
please don't, don't let me go
and we said we would die together
some die young

I will tell your story if you try 
but how long will your thoughts of valleys stay green
when the world
you were born in changes with seasons 
will [bad word] with the stream, or will [bad word] alone?

or will [bad word] against and finally reveal 
why some die young, why some die young
why some die, some die young

you better hold on
so many things I need to say to you
please don't, don't let me go
and we said we would die together
some die young

but you better hold on
so many things I need to say to you
please don't, don't let me go
and we said we would die together
some die young

she walks with her head in the sand
they will never die
