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
