When I was young and full of wonder

The universe was tender

Every dream I had would come true

Music was my worldview

Hearts fell at my feet

Each breath was so sweet

Life was complete

Now the past is over

I was cut down much too soon

I can't speak, I can't play

But this flesh has much more to say

I wave good-bye

To yesterday's highs

Life has other plans

Love and confusion

Peace and destruction

What is the point of it all

Why must we all feel small

Our hearts are not toys

We just want real joy

Life's just a dream

You ask me this question

Due to my unfortunate fate

How can you carry on

Love brings light to the darkness inside

Love's the voice that sings: Hold on!

Hold on, hold on

Hold on to love

Hold on, hold on

Hold on to me
