Before I face
my curtain call
I want it now
I want it all
I will run
while others crawl
I will rock
before the fall
Rock before the fall

Youth is wasted on the young
I will leave no song unsung
Life is short and then we die
I will leave no stone unturned
Where the others crashed and burned
I'll will walk away unhurt

The endless sleep
awaits ahead
So sleep can wait
until I'm dead
When others
have already fled
I'll walk
where angels fear to tread

Youth is wasted on the young
I will leave no song unsung
Life is short and then we die
I will leave no stone unturned
Where the others crashed and burned
I'll will walk away unhurt

When I was a child
My father would sit and wait
for good things to come his way
But no good things came
and he passed away
a bitter, disappointed man

Youth is wasted on the young
I will leave no song unsung
Life is short and then we die
I will leave no stone unturned
Where the others crashed and burned
I'll will walk away unhurt
