We read your books to make you proud
Do you know what it's all about?
You hold us in familiar hands
And teach us of the fears and doubts
We wonder if you realize
The surface won't change what's inside

We are the youth
We won't age, if we're young at heart
Then we're young in mind
We are the youth
So we smile
We love to dance
we love to love
We love to sing
Oh, oh, oh, oh
We are the youth
We are the youth
We love to sing
Oh, oh, oh, oh
We are the youth
We are the youth
We are the youth

If you decide the weight of time
Without a watch you'd beat the clock
Did you forget the child inside?
The one you always try to stop
You realize for all your months
And bless a lifetime if you would

We are the youth
We won't age, if we're young at heart
Then we're young in mind
We are the youth
So we smile
We love to dance
we love to love
We love to sing
