Ballad of Youth

Richie Sambora

Growing up today 
There´s many mountains you must climb 
You´re not the only one 
´Cause everybody´s on that line 
Hey mister know it all 
What do you recommend 
You think you know the answers 
But the questions never end 

Young hearts better hold on 
Beyond the innocence 
Your youth is gone 
So look in your mirror 
You got nothing to lose 
Don´t waste your time away 
Thinkin´ ´bout yesterday´s blues 

Born outta passion 
To a world gone cold 
Ya wear it on your shoulders 
It´s a heavy, heavy load I know 
Love and its emotions 
Come knocking at your door 
Young hearts will be broken 
And time´s the only cure 

Young hearts better hold on 
Beyond the innocence 
Your youth is gone 
So look in your mirror 
You got nothing to lose 
Don´t waste your time away 
Thinkin´ ´bout yesterday´s blues 

Temptation makes us fall from grace 
But the angels were sinners 
And the sinners saints 
Forgive yourself cause we´re all the same 
Everybody rides on the karma train 

Young hearts 
Better hold on 
Beyond the innocence 
Your youth is gone 
Look in your mirror 
It´ll tell you the truth 
Don´t waste your time away 
Don´t waste your life away, no, no 
Live today 
There´s no time to lose 
Cause when tomorrow comes 
It´s all just yesterday´s news 

All just yesterday news
