When you get older
Not everything will make sense
Not everyone will understand
Not every word is a blessing

When you get older
Don't count your days in vain
Don't you ever regret your pain
But let your heart flow and rest
Whenever you can

If you look back
On all those things that we've learned
Be sure, there's so much to come
Lessons that I've never foreseen

Now and then
You might undress of yourself
Righteous over all you felt
But stand for all that you feel

Hold on tight and
Always deciding
To live by your rules
Get through the night to raise the Sun

Hold on tight and
Always deciding
To live by your rule
Get through the night to raise the Sun

Hold on tight and
Always deciding
To live by your rules
Capture the night and raise the Sun

When you get older
I hope you won't be hardened, but wiser
Remember love and never hide it
Be the first one to show it
