Year of the Young
I'm gonna say what you said, I'm gonna do what you did
I won't remember you died, I will remember you lived
You said, "Don't you stand by my grave
No, don't you stand there and cry
I'm the trees and the birds, I'm the soft stars that shine at night"
"'Cause I'm not there, I did not die
No, I'm not there, I did not die"
This year, we lost more than we can count
The ashes we laid in the ground
Oh, this was the year of the young
And this year, we look up towards the sun
And wonder where everyone's gone
Oh, this was the year of the young
I'm gonna stand by your words, I'm gonna learn to forgive (hey)
You said you'd rather go young than to be dead when you live
You said, "I know you're old in your soul, but always run like a kid
I'm the (hey) rain, I'm the grass, I'm the soft-blowin' summer winds"
"'Cause I'm not there, I did not die
No, I'm not there, I did not die"
This year, we lost more than we can count
The ashes we laid in the ground
Oh, this was the year of the young
And this year, we look up towards the sun
And wonder where everyone's gone
Oh, this was the year of the young
Hey
Hey
I won't remember you died, I will remember you lived
You said, "Don't you stand by my grave
No, don't you stand there and cry
I'm the trees and the birds, I'm the soft stars that shine at night"
"'Cause I'm not there, I did not die
No, I'm not there, I did not die"
This year, we lost more than we can count
The ashes we laid in the ground
Oh, this was the year of the young
And this year, we look up towards the sun
And wonder where everyone's gone
Oh, this was the year of the young
I'm gonna stand by your words, I'm gonna learn to forgive (hey)
You said you'd rather go young than to be dead when you live
You said, "I know you're old in your soul, but always run like a kid
I'm the (hey) rain, I'm the grass, I'm the soft-blowin' summer winds"
"'Cause I'm not there, I did not die
No, I'm not there, I did not die"
This year, we lost more than we can count
The ashes we laid in the ground
Oh, this was the year of the young
And this year, we look up towards the sun
And wonder where everyone's gone
Oh, this was the year of the young
Hey
Hey
