Lyrics

Was it yesterday, I felt a young wind blow over my shoulder
I planned to conquer the world and find the truth as I grew older
This world takes all you can give
But maybe it's an even trade
We've got the will to choose
And we've got love to keep us from going insane

Cause it ain't easy, living this life
But dying young just ain't my style
It ain't easy, trying to get it right
Guess I'll be staying around for a while

Today I held the knowledge in my hand, like a rose in bloom
But the petals fell away, and it's another day
And I'm still searching, to find the truth
I don't wanna live in the dark
Don't wanna follow the sun
Just let me feel alive and satisfied
When the day is done

Cause it ain't easy, living this life
But dying young just ain't my style
It ain't easy, to figure it out
Guess I'll be staying around for a while

Sometimes I wish I could fly away
Just like a mockingbird
Drop my troubles in the deep blue see
Just by saying the word

It ain't easy, living this life
But dying young just ain't my style
It ain't easy, doing it right
