Year of Youth
Come all you young people, Its time to rejoice
& Claim your inheritance, raise up your voice
The lantern of Liberty's leading the way
In a year for the youth this is New Year's Day
When a law is unjust it is no law at all
It takes courage to stand up knowing well you may fall
There's a reason and purpose to the time that we live
When our youth to the cause is the least we can give
& I know I'm leaving today
Though the road may be dark and I don't know the way
If truth is a question, the answer is found
When free men and women in one voice resound
Come all you young people, Its time to rejoice
& Claim your inheritance, raise up your voice
The lantern of Liberty's leading the way
In a year for the youth this is New Year's Day
Presidents come and they go like the tide
& Public opinion, it sways side to side
Like the tops of the trees, where the strongest wind blows
As the smell of corruption fills everyone's nose
& I say I'm leaving today
Though the road may be twisted I won't lose my way
If life is a question frail and un-posed
Will you seek out its answer, though the gate may be closed?
Come all you young people, Its time to rejoice
& Claim your inheritance, raise up your voice
The lantern of Liberty's leading the way
In a year for the youth this is New Year's Day
When truth is unbridled I know in my soul
I'll never be chained by their systems of fear and control
Oh I'm leaving today
& I hope that the pendulum's heading my way
If youth is a moment too fragile and brief
There'll be no holding on when age come likes a thief
Come all you young people, Its time to rejoice
& Stand up for your freedom, come raise up your voice
The lantern of Liberty's leading the way
In a year for the youth this is New Year's Day
