Well here I stand

With an open mind

Still unafraid, of the cards that fate has dealt me

One by one, we burn our books and run

Some for home, while others take the world and shake it



You can stay here forever, and never see the sun

You don't realise the price you're paying

It's just that I can remember

When your heart was young

Don't you understand the song I'm singing

When your heart was, when your heart was young



The winter chill

That surrounds your life,

When you grow old and tired and worn

You keep saying that you'll be coming

But still you cling, to your mother's charms

Don't take your time again to think

You'll be sorry you didn't listen, listen
