When You Were Young
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.
When you were young did you dream?
In the shadows of your fear
Take my hand, and
They’ll all disappear from view
I believe in you
On angels’ wings you can fly
To the heavens in the sky
Close your eyes
And you’ll know that my words are true
I believe in you
And when the world is not right
When it seems your day is night
Come to me
Here’s a dream just to hold on to
I believe in you
