Because you're young
The whole world's watching
The whole world's watching

Everything you do

Because you're young

The whole world's waiting
Anticipating wonderous things from you


Because you're young
You may do foolish things
Go on and have your flings

They'll understand

And yet they say

Don't go too far astray
The future of this world
Is in your hands


And so because you're young
The whole world's prayin'

The whole world's prayin'
That you'll find the way


And there you are
With your arms reaching for a star
And that star isn't very far

Just because you're young
