Verse 1

The older that we get 

The more that we know 

So baby don't fret

Were all going home

There is a fear I see 

In people around me 

They're scared that they grow

They're scared to get old 



Pre-Chorus

But when I look around me 

An older face astounds me 

With maps to their beautiful soul 

So why are we so worried?

And always in a hurry 

It's fine not to do what you're told 



Chorus

So think for yourself and smile young man 

You're young; you're young when you're old 

So think for yourself and smile young man 

You're young; you're young when you're old 



Verse 2

It's time that we forget 

What people have said 

They've implanted this fear in our bones

It's time that we remember to laugh every December

When the cold means the warmth is on it's way to the throne



Pre-Chorus

Bridge

So think for yourself and smile young man 

You're young; you're young when you're old 

So think for yourself and smile young man 

You're young; you're young when you're old 



Chorus



Outro

And when I look around me 

A younger face astounds me 

With stories that have yet to be told 

So why are you so worried and always in a hurry?

It's fine you can be a bit bold
