Year of the Young

I'm gonna say what you said

I'm gonna do what you did

I won't remember you died

I will remember you live

You said, "Don't you stand by my grave

No don't you stand there and cry"

I'm the trees, I'm the birds

I'm the soft stars that shine at night

'Cause I'm not there, I did not die

No, I'm not there, I did not die

This year we lost more than we can count

The ashes we lay on the ground

Oh, this was the year of the young

This year we look up towards the sun

And wonder where everyone's gon械

Oh, this was the year of the young

I'm gonna stand by your words

I'm gonna learn to forgive

You said you'd rather go young

Than to be dead when you lived

You said, "I know you're only so

But always run like a kid

I'm the rain, I'm the grass

I'm the soft blowing summer winds

'Cause I'm not there, I did not die

No, I'm not there, I did not die

This year we lost more than we can count

The ashes we lay on the ground

Oh, this was the year of the young

This year we look up towards the sun

And wonder where everyone's gone

Oh, this was the year of the young
