Oh to be young
And so full of dreams
Not some old shadow
Of what has been
Where every moment
Takes an age to begin
And every step
A lifetime to end
Oh to be young
And full of life
Free from pain
And elderly strifes
To have confidence
In all you do
Never realising
You\'re a naive fool
Oh to be young
When the world was yours
Not confined
To just four walls and a door
To be free to do
Whatever you want
Not hampered by tiredness
And a ticking clock
Oh to be young
Something once tasted
It really is true
On the young
Youth is wasted
And as I sit here
All emaciated
I\'m constantly reminded
From this world
I will soon be vacated
Oh to be young
