Only The Young Die Old
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Did anybody tell you how high the sky
Did anyone explore you, it's easy if you try
You say your life ain't easy
Living for the day
Your strength is in the knowing
That there is another way
Yes you are one, you are, you see
It's clear to me that you are still sleeping
Did anybody hear you when you said there's more
More the day, today assertion, did you find an open door
Journey through the high now
Let your spirit free
The present was tomorrow
It's so easy if you see
But only the young die old
Only fools are free
And time is a passing phase
So who holds the key
Yes you, are one, you are, you see
It's clear to me that you are still dreaming
