While We're Young
Girl Nation Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

We've all heard people talking about all the things that they regret
And what they would change to do it again
We know our story's just starting, so much is unwritten

We're gonna go right when the world goes left
Cause we don't wanna waste even one of these days
We're gonna save ourselves the heartache
We're not looking back on what we wish we'd done
We're gonna risk it all for one thing
And we're jesus while we're young, while we're young

There's gonna be some up times, there's gonna be some real steep climbs
So its here and now that we decide if we're gonna be ready for the days when life hits
Hits hard

We're gonna know for sure now who we are
Cause we don't wanna waste even one of these days
We're gonna save ourselves the heartache
We're not looking back on what we wish we'd done
We're gonna risk it all for one thing
And live for Jesus while we're young, while we're young

We know who we are, a chosen generation
We know who we are, this our declaration
Cause we don't wanna waste even one of these days
We're gonna save ourselves the heartache
We're not looking back on what we wish we'd done
We're gonna risk it all for one thing
And live for Jesus while we're young

We're gonna save ourself he heartache
We're not looking back on what we wish we'd done




We're gonna risk it all for one thing
And live for Jesus while we're young, while we're young
