When I'm growin' up I'm gonna make it up as pretty as I know
When I'm growin' up I'm gonna walk around as far as I can go
When I'm growin' up and full of wanderlust
I'm gonna be a man that you can come to trust
When I'm growin' up I'm gonna make it up as pretty as I know
When I get my coat I'm gonna show it off to everyone I love
When I get my coat I'm gonna use it to make eagle out of dove
When I get my coat I'm gonna be a star
And if you stick with me then you will go real far
When I get my coat I'm gonna show it off to everyone I love
And I think the same could happen to you
And I think for all of us that this is true
And don't you mind the lecturers, they're stubborn 'cuz they're old
Take my hand and come along there's fortune to behold
Because the world still loves us
We're young with wanderlust
And life keeps going
We're free to laugh and bust out loud
We're here for a long while
We'll make the most of the ride
They may be older
But time is on our side
Woke up in the mornin' and I think I'm gonna be a little late
Gotta pay a bill and then I gotta go get ready for a date
I dunno if this girl is gonna be the one
But the sun is out and we are gonna have some fun
Woke up in the mornin' and I think I'm gonna be a little late
Wonderin' if I am gonna get the money to be makin' rent
I gotta job but gotta eat and suddenly I realize I'm spent
But I know that everything's gonna be alright
Because I'm young and I'm clever and I feel the light
Wonderin' if I am gonna get the money to be makin' rent
And I hope that life is treatin' you well
And I hope that when I see you that I can tell
We're shadowed by an empire, but we're findin' our way
And sometimes we'll find fields of green, and we can stop and play
Because the world still loves us (keep your head up high)
We're young with wanderlust
And life keeps going (day by day by day)
We're free to laugh and bust out loud
We're here for a long while (at least I think)
We'll make the most of the ride
They may be older
But time is on our side
So I step outta the house and I am greeted by
the neighbors and they're smilin' there's no need to try
Everything's pleasant
Good things are present
I get in the car and say bye (goodbye!)
And I'm lookin' forward to the things that I'll do
I can't imagine livin' my life all blue
Open your eyes, man
Take in what you can
Everything's lovely and true
And I think that I'll call you tomorrow (because the world still loves us)
And then we'll share our tales of joy and sorrow (we're young with wanderlust)
Friendship is a precious thing, I'm glad you're still around (and life keeps going)
For life is not a solo path, there's journeying abound
Because the world still loves us (keep your head up high)
We're young with wanderlust
And life keeps going (day by day by day)
We're free to laugh and bust out loud
We're here for a long while (at least I think)
We'll make the most of the ride
They may be older
But time is on our side
