lyrics

Well, the rain came down, when the night came out
And you always thought it would get much easier
Take your old man’s advice, and prepare your young heart
‘Cause when the war, it shakes, well, the light, it stops

We’re miles and miles from the promised land, dear
But, I swear to god, we’re already here
Take your old man’s advice, and prepare your young heart
Take your old man’s advice, and prepare your young heart

The weight of the world is resting on your back
And everyone you know says it gets much easier
When the weight of the world falls slack

Kick up your feet and let’s move forever
I'll set the sail if you lift the tether
All of the times that we've shared together
All of the sounds, in all kinds of weather
This is the way it should be forever
This is the way it could be forever

Well the world is a wild and a wondrous place
(Well, the world is wild, my love)
And your heart, my love, it has no need to break right now
(And your heart, my love, has no need to break)
Shake your old man’s advice and prepare your young heart
(Shake your old man’s advice and prepare your young heart)
‘Cause when the war it shakes, well, the light, it stops

The weight of the world is resting on your back
And everyone you know says it gets much easier
When the weight of the world falls slack

Let’s kick up our feet and let’s move forever
I'll set the sail if you lift the tether
All of the times that we've shared together
All of the sounds, in all kinds of weather
This is the way it should be forever
This is the way it could be forever

And what are we waiting for?
For the band to play us off?

Kick up your feet and let’s move forever
I'll set the sail if you lift the tether
All of the times that we've shared together
All of the sounds in all kinds of weather
This is the way it should be forever
This is the way it could be forever
This is the way it should be for...
