Too young to learn it |
|
Too young to earn it |
|
Too innocent, too pure, too kind |
|
Too fair to show it |
|
Too fair to know it |
|
Too dependent, too close, and too blind |
|
Will she fall out of favor? |
|
Will the stars not save her? |
|
Will she walk on the razor's edge |
|
Or be lost when she burns the bridge? |
|
Will she take what I gave her on her way |
|
To young America |
|
Too bright to be faded |
|
Too light to be weighted |
|
Too effortless, lucid, and fine |
|
Will she fall out of favor? |
|
Will the stars not save her? |
|
Will she walk on the razor's edge |
|
Or be lost when she burns the bridge? |
|
Will she take what I gave her on her way |
|
To young America |
|
Will she cross the line |
|
Looking for the star of ages |
|
Young America's waiting |
|
Young America's waiting |
|
Young America's waiting |
|
Will she fall out of favor? |
|
Will the stars not save her? |
|
Will she walk on the razor's edge |
|
Or be lost when she burns the bridge? |
|
Will she take what I gave her on her way |
|
Young America's waiting |
|
Young America's waiting |

Young America's waiting |
