So youre out to change the world
You can do it none too fast
You dont want to see your future
Wash away into the past
Now a change is gonna come...
Say its written on the streets
But theres a monkey on your back
...try to put him on a shelf
And you try to find in others
What you hide inside yourself
And you worry bout the war
And you try to understand
But forget about tomorrow
When youre playin in the band
Stay young at heart
Stay young at heart
Now youve been around the world
Seen the shape of things to come
You begin to feel the damage
From the crazy things weve done
Now the lines are overdrawn
...see em bleedin down your face
And theres a sore and scary monster...
Shes-a comin after you
Stay young at heart
Stay young at heart
You cant be too wise
So open your eyes
Stay young at heart...yea
Now youre weary from the war
But its time to start again
And you dont know what youre fightin for
But youll fight until the end
Now forget about the future
Dontcha try to understand
Theres no need to fear tomorrow
Just keep playin in the band
Stay young at heart
Stay young at heart
You cant be too wise
So open your eyes
Stay young...stay young
Stay young at heart
