"Forever Young"
[Verse 1]
Let's dance in style, let's dance for a while
Heaven can wait, we're only watching the skies
Hoping for the best but expecting the worst
Are you gonna drop the bomb or not?
[Verse 2]
Let us die young or let us live forever
We don't have the power, but we never say never
Sitting in a sandpit, life is a short trip
Music's for the sad men
[Verse 3]
Can you imagine when this race is run?
Turn our golden faces into the sun
Praising our leaders, we're getting in tune
The music's played by the madmen
[Chorus]
Forever young, I want to be forever young
Do you really want to live forever, forever, forever?
[Verse 4]
Some are like water, some are like the heat
Some are the melody, some are the beat
Sooner or later they all will be gone
Why don't they stay young?
[Verse 5]
It's hard to get old without a cause
I don't want to perish like a fading horse
Youth is like diamonds in the sun
And diamonds are forever
[Chorus]
Forever young, I want to be forever young
Do you really want to live forever, forever, forever?
Forever young, I want to be forever young
Do you really want to live forever, forever, forever?
[Instrumental Break]
[Chorus]
Forever young, I want to be forever young
Do you really want to live forever, forever, forever?
Forever young, I want to be forever young
Do you really want to live forever, forever?

The sad part isn’t growing up, it’s the innocence that we lose through out the years. That’s what I miss the most; the days of innocence and ignorantly enjoying life without a worry. Make the most of your life guys, learn to love, communicate and have meaningful relationships. That’s what it’s all about

@mydogzty
Mate hope you can live some days without the worrying because thats what Im liviing with, some days just not worth worrying about it.
Fortunately people these days are the best to communicate, love and trust with everything going on, worse thing is the internet ont he phone capabilities of social media, pointless most of it, life goes on. Enjoy it, make a difference, be happy.
