[Verse 1] We chase the rising sun Before we learn to run We are, we are the young, oh yeah The cigarettes of hopeful dreamers Are burning out the air we breathe Like nicotine for our beliefs That we live, we live for something more But the truth is on the ground You better settle down To see what's right So I've come to figure out That years are not the mountains we all fear to climb [Pre-Chorus] And watching the days go by Is like counting train cars at a railroad light And life's not made by the nights That pa** while we're waiting for change to arrive [Chorus] But it's never too late to wake up and break yourself free Fall down just to make yourself bleed Sing loud till your lungs give out ‘Cause we are, we are, we are, we are the young [Verse 2] Sometimes the path we run Leads us right through the midday sun We're blistered and broken, twisted but hoping We just might survive it So take the pain but don't let it break you Let it carry you away and shake your soul Like an earthquake inside your mind [Pre-Chorus] And watching the days go by Is like counting train cars at a railroad light And life's not made by the nights That pa** while we're waiting for change to arrive [Chorus] But it's never too late to wake up and break yourself free Fall down just to make yourself bleed Sing loud till your lungs give out ‘Cause we are, we are, we are, we are the young [Pre-Chorus] And watching the days go by Is like counting train cars at a railroad light And life's not made by the nights That pa** while we're waiting for change to arrive [Chorus] But it's never too late to wake up and break yourself free Fall down just to make yourself bleed Sing loud till your lungs give out ‘Cause we are, we are, we are, we are the young [Outro] You're just sitting at a greenlight
