Shadow of a Young Man

[Intro] [Verse 1] yeah-heyy- yeah-hey hey- ho-o-o-o-oo In the mirror, the lines start to show A little gray in his hair, but his eyes still glow Coffee cup in the morning, a quiet sigh Reflects on the years, time’s arrow flies [Chorus] But inside he’s still the boy with dreams so wild Chasing the wind, the spirit of a child Even as the pages turn, he holds his grin A young heart beating strong within [Verse 2] Pockets full of memories, shoes worn through Paths he walked, and the journeys new Kids all grown, but the park still calls Laughs and swings, he’s had it all [Chorus] But inside he’s still the boy with dreams so wild Chasing the wind, the spirit of a child Even as the pages turn, he holds his grin A young heart beating strong within [Bridge] Life’s a book you can’t put down, even when it weighs Every chapter, a new surprise, through the haze He’s learned to dance in the rain, not just await the sun For every end a new beginning, never truly done Chorus But inside he’s still the boy with dreams so wild Chasing the wind, the spirit of a child Even as the pages turn, he holds his grin A young heart beating strong within [Verse 2] Pockets full of memories, shoes worn through Paths he walked, and the journeys new Kids all grown, but the park still calls Laughs and swings, he’s had it all [Chorus] But inside he’s still the boy with dreams so wild Chasing the wind, the spirit of a child Even as the pages turn, he holds his grin A young heart beating strong within [Bridge] Life’s a book you can’t put down, even when it weighs Every chapter, a new surprise, through the haze He’s learned to dance in the rain, not just await the sun For every end a new beginning, never truly done Chorus] But inside he’s still the boy with dreams so wild Chasing the wind, the spirit of a child Even as the pages turn, he holds his grin A young heart beating strong within [Bridge] Life’s a book you can’t put down, even when it weighs Every chapter, a new surprise, through the haze He’s learned to dance in the rain, not just await the sun For every end a new beginning, never truly done [Chorus] But inside he’s still the boy with dreams so wild Chasing the wind, the spirit of a child Even as the pages turn, he holds his grin A young heart beating strong within [Outro] So here he stands, where light dims at the bend Clutching days gone by, and dreams that never end A silent anthem for the youth that fades In the heart of the man, as daylight wades [Outro] So here he stands, where light dims at the bend Clutching days gone by, and dreams that never end A silent anthem for the youth that fades In the heart of the man, as daylight wades
