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
