Forever Young (Live at Benaroya Hall, Seattle, WA - November 2010) - Brandi Carlile/The Seattle Symphony

Let us die young or let us stay for a while

Heaven can wait we're only watching the skies

Hoping for the best but expecting the worst

Are you going to drop the bomb or not

Let us die young or let us live forever

We don't have the power but we never say never

Sitting in a sandpit life is a short trip

The music's for the sad men

Can you imagine when this race is won

Turn our golden faces into the sun

Praising our leaders we're getting in tune

The music's played by a madman

Forever young I want to be forever young

Do you really want to live forever forever forever

Forever young I want to be forever young

Do you really want to live forever

Forever young

Some of us are like water some are like the heat

Some are a melody and some are the beat

Sooner or later they all will be gone

Why don't they stay young

But it's hard to get old without a cause

I don't want to perish like a fading horse

Youth is like diamonds in the sun

And diamonds are forever

So many adventures couldn't happen today

So many songs we forgot to play

So many dreams are swinging out of the blue

If we let them come true

Forever young I want to be forever young

Do you really want to live forever forever forever

Forever young I want to be forever young

Do you really want to live forever forever young

Forever young I want to be forever young

Do you really want to live forever forever forever

Forever young I want to be forever young

Do you really want to live forever forever young
