Fearful child, have faith in brighter days
Stay until this darkness fades away
Lie still beside me
Ill hold you now, Ill hold you forever
Winter's hand will freeze your heart again
Doors will close, no time to start again
Nothing is given, except the ties that hold us together
Lay down your load
Because everyday its going to grow
And bask in the sunshine
Try to pay no mind, try to pay no mind at all
To all the things that you dont know
Youve got time to realise
Youre shielded by the hands of love
Because you are young
Fading light may make a fool of me
Courage fail, strength slip away from me
Lie still beside me
And hold me now and hold me forever
Lay down your load
Because everyday its gonna grow
If these days are sacred
Hey now dont be scared, baby dont be scared at all
Of all the things that you dont know
Youve got time to realise
Youre shielded by the hands of love
Cause you are young
Youve got time youve got to try
To bring some good into this world
Because you are young
Because you are young
Oh oh oh woah
Oh woah oh
Oh oh oh woah
Oh woah oh
Oh oh oh woah
Oh woah oh
Because you are young
