lyrics

We are the old
and we'll always struggle
though we're not alone
our voices are mute
and there's no use shouting
they'll all walk away
and claim that we're children
with too much time to play

My dear
there's a mountain left to climb
and if you don't make it
I will be your cast, your crutch, your cure from the worst

We are the children
we do what we want
we will not take prisoners
in the forts we construct
and while we're still learning
how to love and defend
against all those monsters
hiding under our beds
we'll continue to fight

My dear
there's a mountain left to climb
and if you die trying
I will be the air to breathe you back to life

So you shouldn't cut me loose
you shouldn't clip your wings
I can't tie you to the ground
before you float away.
