Lyrics
0:02Too much to say too much to lose
0:07I get frustrated thinking 'bout the world I brought you to
0:14It's a battle of time that I have with you
0:19That don't decide the how the when or if we'll make it through
0:26I feel that you deserve a chance to know the truth
0:28And to be better than
0:32The ones who came before you only to let pride and money weaken them
0:37So be the young the brave the powerful
0:43'Cause the world is standing waiting
0:46For someone to come and change it
0:48Yeah be the young the brave the powerful
0:55'Cause we need a soul to save us
0:57Need someone to be the greatest
1:07So many words veiling the truth
1:13The earth is turning and it's time for us to choose
1:19And people will try to take you down too
1:25But if I was a betting man I'd put all my money on you
1:31I know that I have nothing left to give to you
1:33To make you better than
1:37The man I failed to be the friend and father
1:39That I know I should have been
1:42So be the young the brave the powerful
1:48'Cause the world is standing waiting
1:51For someone to come and change it
1:54Yeah be the young the brave the powerful
2:00'Cause we need a soul to save us
2:03Need someone to be the greatest
2:06Nobody knows what to say
2:08Oh no
2:09Nobody shows you the way
2:11Oh no
2:12Sometimes it's hard to see
2:15Who you're gonna be
2:18So be the young the brave the powerful
2:23'Cause the world is standing waiting
2:26For someone to come and change it
2:29Be the young the brave the powerful
2:35'Cause we need a soul to save us
2:38Need someone to be the greatest
2:41Be the young the brave the powerful
2:47'Cause the world is standing waiting
2:50For someone to come and change it
2:53Be the young the brave the powerful
2:59'Cause we need a soul to save us
3:02Need someone to be the greatest love
Too much to say too much to lose I get frustrated thinking 'bout the world I brought you to It's a battle of time that I have with you That don't decide the how the when or if we'll make it through I feel that you deserve a chance to know the truth And to be better than The ones who came before you only to let pride and money weaken them So be the young the brave the powerful 'Cause the world is standing waiting For someone to come and change it Yeah be the young the brave the powerful 'Cause we need a soul to save us Need someone to be the greatest So many words veiling the truth The earth is turning and it's time for us to choose And people will try to take you down too But if I was a betting man I'd put all my money on you I know that I have nothing left to give to you To make you better than The man I failed to be the friend and father That I know I should have been So be the young the brave the powerful 'Cause the world is standing waiting For someone to come and change it Yeah be the young the brave the powerful 'Cause we need a soul to save us Need someone to be the greatest Nobody knows what to say Oh no Nobody shows you the way Oh no Sometimes it's hard to see Who you're gonna be So be the young the brave the powerful 'Cause the world is standing waiting For someone to come and change it Be the young the brave the powerful 'Cause we need a soul to save us Need someone to be the greatest Be the young the brave the powerful 'Cause the world is standing waiting For someone to come and change it Be the young the brave the powerful 'Cause we need a soul to save us Need someone to be the greatest love
