Eyes of a Young Man

Everything is glimmering and rain came falling sweetly in the spring

And while the seasons simmer on, the love of all is such a simple thing

With every moment that he finds, the young man can't but wonder at the view

If he were a child again would life be just a game where none can lose

Love is always kind and he don't seem to mind

The passage of the time and the way that all things die

He doesn't understand the mere notion of a plan

I guess that's just the view through the eyes of a young man

The days have come to find him now and splendor in all things begins to fade

And everyone he'll ever lose just seems to leave him hardened and afraid

The joys feel only smaller now but no less lovely than they were before

The beauty of the girl he loves or streams and mountains out his own front door

Life can show you simple joys if you can learn to lower down your guard (Lower down your guard)

The pages of a book you love or the garden sitting in your own front yard (In your own front yard)

And through your own two eyes you'll see the same old world that's been there all along (Been there all along)

Forgot about the younger man and make the time to sing your own damn song

Well love ain't always kind and now he seems to mind

The passage of the time and the ones he loves who've died

He still can't understand the mere notion of a plan

I guess that's just the view through the eyes of a young man

Ooooo
