  • Growing up today
    There's many mountains you must climb
    You're not the only one
    'Cause everybody's on that line
    Hey mister know it all
    What do you recommend
    You think you know the answers
    But the questions never end

    Young hearts better hold on
    Beyond the innocence
    Your youth is gone
    So look in your mirror
    You got nothing to lose
    Don't waste your time away
    Thinkin' 'bout yesterday's blues

    Born outta passion
    To a world gone cold
    Ya wear it on your shoulders
    It's a heavy, heavy load I know
    Love and its emotions
    Come knocking at your door
    Young hearts will be broken
    And time's the only cure

    Young hearts better hold on
    Beyond the innocence
    Your youth is gone
    So look in your mirror
    You got nothing to lose
    Don't waste your time away
    Thinkin' 'bout yesterday's blues

    Temptation makes us fall from grace
    But the angels were sinners
    And the sinners saints
    Forgive yourself cause we're all the same
    Everybody rides on the karma train

    Young hearts
    Better hold on
    Beyond the innocence
    Your youth is gone
    Look in your mirror
    It'll tell you the truth
    Don't waste your time away
    Don't waste your life away, no, no
    Live today
    There's no time to lose
    Cause when tomorrow comes
    It's all just yesterday's news
