I think a lot about

and the time I spent

with Carla that season.

Kuch had it right.

It was a vision quest.

We're born to live

and then to die.

We got to do it alone,

each in his own way.

That's why we ought to

love those people

who deserve it

like there's no tomorrow,

because when you get

right down to it,

there isn't.

only the young can say

they're free to fly away

sharing the same desire

burnin' like wildfire

I'll see you

through the promises

and all the lies

you're yet to tell

is it heaven or hell?

they know very well

only the young can say

they're free to fly away

sharing the same desire

burnin' like wildfire

only the young can say

they're free to fly away

sharing the same desire

burnin' like wildfire

only the young can say

only the young can say
