Jimmy Cliff When You`re Young Lyrics

When You`re Young Lyrics

Be wise, be free when you're young

When you're young



Well, someone told me, not long ago now

You're only young but for once

It's the one time in a lifetime

There is no second chance, second chance



So when you're young

Hold your head high and hold on to your dreams

There's a world waiting out there

Not always what it seems



Be wise, be free when you're young

When you're young



It's said, you got your freedom to make your own rules

Be nobody's footstool

And you may try now to change the world too

But don't let it change you, it can't change you



So when you're young

Hold your head high and hold on to your dreams

There's a world waiting out there

Not always what it seems



When you're young

When you're young



You see that many a people in my time of mend

Telling tales of regret

Step aside Grandma, step aside Grandpa

There are somethings I must get, I must get



When you're young

Hold your head high and hold on to your dreams

There's a world waiting out there

Not always what it seems



When you're young

When you're young

You know it's the right time

You know it's the right time



Said, I know

(When you're young)

Said, I know

(When you're young)

When you're young

When you're young
