Too YouNG To Die

Look around do the faces seem so strange?

In a crowd where nothing seems to change

Seems to change

 

I lived a life and all my friends were there

I rolled the dice ’cause I didn’t care

No, I didn’t care

 

And you can weep

When life gets too deep

And you can cry

Just let it pass you by

Oh, but I’m too young to die

Oh, I’m too young to die

 

A baby is born and she breathes her first breath of life

She looks around and sees a strange new world

A strange new world

 

Her mother’s fault she found the needle dream

She made a choice from the poison stream

From the poison stream

 

And you can weep

When life gets too deep

And you can cry

Just let it pass you by

Sweet child you’re too young to die

Oh, child you’re too young to die

 

You turn around to hear a still, small voice

But the voice comes from within

Comes from within

It says, Go forth, and always take your time

So you my live—live your life with pride

Live your life with pride.”

 

And you can weep

When life gets too deep

And you can cry

Just let it pass you by

But we’re all too young to die

Oh, we’re all too young to die

Oh, too young to die

Oh, too young to die
