When you first begin your journey,
You're not sure of who you are
And the lessons that you're learning
They don't seem to take you far
And you just can't keep from stumbling
Though you try so hard to stand
And the truth can be so humbling
When it's just beyond your hand
As though youth were my invention
As though love lay undefined
To stay young was my intention
To stay free and unconfined
And so I held my pride above you
Oh, yes, what a fool was I
Holding back the words,
