You can hear the world promising you things when you are young
You can hear the world promising you things when you are young
The struggle for success brings this emptiness
Well I would like to build a fortress
With every pillow sheet and blanket in the house
Crawl inside to dream and never come out
You can hear the world promising you things when you are young
You can hear the world promising you things when you are young
I take these multi-colored strings,
And tie them wall to wall
It doesn't have to be understood
It is my fun between the jo
And it's mine all mine it is my art
To pass this time that no one's got
You can hear the world promising you things when you are young
You can hear the world promising you things when you are young
Well you are young if you want to be
You are young if you want to be
