Young One

Don't ask me to tell you why you're scared I'm not your spirit Don't task me with teaching you to care There's no use in it Complain of the things that you can't grasp When your arms are folded Remain in first and become last You already sold it You would not believe If I told you the words As plain as the day You don't know what I've seen You don't know what I've heard And I know that's okay Oh, young one, you've trembling hands But I can't, I can't lie to you Oh, young one, you'll never understand But maybe this ghost moves through you You fear things that you already know You sit in silence Inside you though you won't let it show I know there's violence You would not believe If I told you the words As plain as the day You don't know what I've seen You don't know what I've heard And I like it that way Oh, young one, you've trembling hands But I can't, I can't lie to you Oh, young one, you'll never understand But maybe this ghost moves through you I know I'm gonna wait for a while before I try to explain I know I am a fool but a word to the wise is what I maintain Oh, young one, you've trembling hands But I can't, I can't lie to you Oh, young one, you'll never understand But maybe this ghost moves through you Oh, young one, you've trembling hands But I can't, I can't lie to you Oh, young one, you'll never understand But maybe this ghost moves through you
