Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

May God bless and keep you always
May your wishes all come true
May you always do for others
And let others do for you

May you build a ladder to the stars
And climb on every rung
May you stay
Forever young

Forever young
Forever young
May you stay
Forever young

May you grow up to be righteous
May you grow up to be true
May you always know the truth
And see the lights surrounding you

May you always be courageous
Stand upright and be strong
And may you stay
Forever young

Forever young
Forever young
May you stay
Forever young

May your hands always be busy
May your feet always be swift
May you have a strong foundation
When the winds of changes shift

He loved great music. I'm sorry for your loss.

@c.f.cessna9783

What the fuck is wrong with you!? I said I WILL listen to it all the time-- that is to say, in the future I plan to listen to the song to remember him. Your comment is not only extremely disrespectful, but also it doesn't even make sense. Try again, loser.
