God knows I've carried the torch of indecision worry 
see the watchers watching... I know you're grounded in 
years of family history worry leave the talkers talking 
on... 

To the ones she needs on a ride I believe 
"Take the chances while you're young" 
And the ones who too soon handed over 
Now see what they've done... 

The years have shown you our way the doormat face down 
wipe your feet on our good graces... Take in their 
words and their meaning good intentions hand it over 
take your places now... 

To the ones she needs on a ride I believe 
"Take the chances while you're young" 
And the ones who too soon handed over 
Now see what they've done... 

I'm a little bit tired... I'm a little bit jaded... 
And I need someone to tell me "you can make it..." 
I'm a little bit tired... I'm a little bit jaded... 
And I need someone to tell me "you can make it..." 

I know your fear and I still believe you can descend 
without the wings to fly... And in time you'll carry 
your food for ammunition compass strength across the 
wire now... 

To the ones she needs on a ride I believe 
"Take the chances while you're young" 
And the ones who too soon handed over 
Now see what they've done...
