When you were young
There you come a running, tireless so it seemed
With the biggest eyes, we had ever seen
Now we see you hurting, slowing down your pace
Tiring of the struggle, pain upon your face
Baby, hold on to your dreams, baby, as hard as it may seem
When you were young, nothing seemed to hold you
When you were young, nothing seemed to hurt you
Maybe it ain’t so easy, sometimes not so clear
Stare into the darkness, trying to see some light
But here you can come a running, tireless so it seems
With the biggest eyes, we have ever seen
Baby, hold on to your dreams, baby, as hard as it may seem
When you were young, nothing seemed to hold you
When you were young, nothing seemed to hurt you
The words on yours arms are true, You’re enough just as you are
The lines on your skin are real, You’re enough , just as you are.
Baby, hold on to your dreams, baby, as hard as it may seem
When you were young, nothing seemed to hold you
When you were young, nothing seemed to hurt you
