Hey man. . . why save that hardship for the older you? take it on now upon the younger you dont be afraid when you fear your courage has been mislaid dont fret the flight on a dark and dangerous night {CHORUS} youre here to say ok not here to stay, ok? deliver us only this day hey man. . . why save that worry for the older you? take it on now upon the younger you dont panic your heart before the hard times start dont tremble and quake keep a steady float on the overwhelming wake {CHORUS} why save that overbearing weight for the older you? go ahead take it on now upon the stronger you {CHORUS}
