Styx Young Man Lyrics

Young Man Lyrics

Written by James Young
Lead vocals by James Young

people say with age
there comes experience
but as soon as you are born you start to die
older
men are chosen to speak wisely
but call the child to the sacrificial
rite

who can we get to win the fight?
young man!
who can we get to
make love all night?
young man!
who do we send away to die?
young
man!
I heard a lonely woman cry for a
young man!

the fire bombs in
distant lands are burning
jarring every synapse in your soul
life and
death are a meaningless profession
tomorrow brings a horror yet
untold

who can we get to win the fight?
young man!
who can we get
to make love all night?
young man!
who do we send away to die?
young
man!
I heard a lonely woman cry for a
young man!

young
man!
young man!

come home my son
we'll give you a rest
welcome
my son
we'll give you the best
time's stowaway
the young man
short
are the days
of the young man

young man!
young man!
