"Young" lyrics
"Young"
Father, please, hear my plea
And don't You hide Your face from me
A brand new vision steals my sleep
And it's Your nightmare too
Silent trees sprout little leaves
From the blood that spilled and spoiled the roots
Now these trees [?] a strange fruit
It's the harvest of our youth
When we were young, we didn't have to run
Like our life depended on it
When we were young, it wasn't not too little [?]
When we were young, we didn't have to run
Like our life depended on it
When we were young, we were just running for the thrill
Gentle stare, with guns in hand
As mothers wrap their sons in bodybags
When a man can hunt another man
How is that freedom?
Don't tell me, don't tell me
Tell me it was just a dream
'Cause a father is waiting there to be
A reality where the children can breath in peace
When we were young, we didn't have to run
Like our life depended on it
When we were young, it wasn't not too little [?]
When we were young, we didn't have to run
Like our life depended on it
When we were young, we were just running for the thrill
And all God's children gotta rise up
Gotta build a new Jerusalem
Amen, amen, amen
And all God's children gotta rise up
Gotta build a new Jerusalem
Amen, amen, amen
'Cause the day will come when we won't have to run
Like our life depended on it
The day will come when we can just live and let be
A day will come when we won't have to run
Like our life depended on it
A day will come when we're just running for the thrill

JOHNNYSWIM - "Flowers" You don't have to bring me flowers
Won't you just let me be
'Cause every time you try to woo me it wounds me
Don't leave no flowers here for me

I don't see much...
FLETCHER - "All Love" We started out as friends in the Lower East
Did a couple drugs at the house parties
Late nights in taxi cabs

You just go and you hope that you'll grow, that's life

I remember you fondly
We bathed in the grease on the McDonald's floor

Penny & Sparrow - "You'll Never Walk Alone" When you walk through a storm
Hold your head up high
And don't be afraid of the dark
At the end of a storm
There's a golden sky
And the sweet silver song of a lark
Walk on through the wind
Walk on...
