So you're out to change the world

You can do it none too fast

You don't want to see your future

Wash away into the past

Now a change is gonna come...

Say it's written on the streets

But there's a monkey on your back

...try to put him on a shelf

And you try to find in others

What you hide inside yourself



And you worry 'bout the war

And you try to understand

But forget about tomorrow

When you're playin' in the band



Stay young at heart

Stay young at heart



Now you've been around the world

Seen the shape of things to come

You begin to feel the damage

From the crazy things we've done

Now the lines are overdrawn

...see 'em bleedin' down your face

And there's a sore and scary monster...

She's-a comin' after you



Stay young at heart

Stay young at heart

You can't be too wise

So open your eyes

Stay young at heart...yea



Now you're weary from the war

But it's time to start again

And you don't know what you're fightin' for

But you'll fight until the end

Now forget about the future

Don'tcha try to understand

There's no need to fear tomorrow

Just keep playin' in the band



Stay young at heart

Stay young at heart

You can't be too wise

So open your eyes

Stay young...stay young

Stay young at heart
