We Are the Young

We chase the rising Sun

Before we learn to run

We are, we are the young, oh, yeah

The cigarettes of hopeful dreamers

Are burning out the air we breathe

Like nicotine for our beliefs

That we live, we live for something more

But the truth is on the ground

You better settle down

To see what’s right

So I’ve come to figure out

That years are not the mountains we all fear to climb

And watching the days go by

Is like counting train cars at a railroad light

And life’s not made by the nights

That pass while we’re waiting for change to arrive

But it’s never too late to wake up and break yourself free

Fall down just to make yourself bleed

Sing loud till your lungs give out

‘Cause we are, we are, we are, we are the Young

Sometimes the path we run

Leads us right through the midday Sun

We’re blistered and broken, twisted but hoping

We just might survive it

So take the pain but don’t let it break you

Let it carry you away and shake your soul

Like an earthquake inside your mind

And watching the days go by

Is like counting train cars at a railroad light

And life’s not made by the nights

That pass while we’re waiting for change to arrive

But it’s never too late to wake up and break yourself free

Fall down just to make yourself bleed

Sing loud till your lungs give out

‘Cause we are, we are, we are, we are the Young

And watching the days go by

Is like counting train cars at a railroad light

And life’s not made by the nights

That pass while we’re waiting for change to arrive

But it’s never too late to wake up and break yourself free

Fall down just to make yourself bleed

Sing loud till your lungs give out

‘Cause we are, we are, we are, we are the young

You’re just sitting at a greenlight
