Gm
Dread shine your light
A#
So a child may follow
D#             F              Dm    Gm
Many have been lost along the way

Until tonight
A#
Turns into tomorrow                   
D#                F               Dm
Teach them to be careful while at play
Gm
There’s nothing wrong with having fun
A#
Don’t let the system tame you
D#                        F
It’s just a part of being young
                                 Gm
And even though they’re quick to blame you

Picking on you like a plum
A#
Because your dream became true
D#                    F
Now look what they’ve become
                  Gm
In open sight and plain view

They’ve already had a run
A#
So meanwhile they try to change you
D#                      F
It’s not over till it’s done
Dm
So please remain the same you


[Chorus] x2
Gm
Hey young world (hey young world)
A#
Hey young world (hey young world)
D#
Hey young world
F         Dm       Gm
The world is yours


[Verse 2]
Gm
Dread shine your light
A#
So a child may follow
D#             F              Dm   Gm
Many have been lost along the way

Until tonight
A#
Turns into tomorrow
D#               F                Dm
Teach them to be careful while at play
Gm
You might not think you know enough
A#
Don’t let that deter you
D#                F
It’s all apart of growing up
                              Gm
And we’re all young enough to learn to

And don’t you live life in a rush
A#
The past cannot be returned to
D#           F
And when you feel like giving up
                      Gm
Remember patience is a virtue

When you fall try to get up
A#
Have some guts, I’m trying to urge you
D#          F
Be proud of owning up
Dm
The truth will never hurt you


[Chorus] x2
Gm
Hey young world (hey young world)
A#
Hey young world (hey young world)
D#
Hey young world
F         Dm       Gm
The world is yours


[Verse 3]
Gm
Dread shine your light
A#
So a child may follow
D#                    F       Dm   Gm         
Many have been lost along the way

Until tonight
A#
Turns into tomorrow
D#               F                Dm
Teach them to be careful while at play
Gm
So when you’re rising start, be wise and smart
A#
Try make your mark
D#                            F
Don't you hype and floss, and drive to fast
Dm                Gm
'Cause life’s too short

Try make good times last 'cause time fly past

A#

D#                         F
And if time is money, that means time cost
                           Gm
But it don’t cost money to joke and laugh

A#

D#                            F
So if you love somebody hurry up and talk


[Chorus]
Gm
Hey young world (hey young world)
A#
Hey young world (hey young world)
D#
Hey young world
F         Dm       Gm
The world is yours
