Way back when I was young   A minute from yesterday   They said to me, son be strong   You're gonna be something someday      They bought me some clothes to wear   They gave me some books to read   Took me to see Santa Claus   Of love I was never in need   But they never said things burn   Or that I would have to live and learn      I'd love to go back and undo   A few things that I have done   I've got a handful of bitter regrets   Like when I betrayed someone   Who helped me when I was down      I was young and dumb at the time   Believe me, I don't feel good   When those days are on my mind      They're gone now, not to return   And we move on trying to live and learn   Raise the shade, look outside   Leave your dreams back in bed      Find your shoes, walk outside   Shake the clouds from your head   Like the morning headline in the newspaper read   It's your turn, it's your turn to live and learn      So that's enough for now   Enough talk about the past   Ice just beyond the gate   We don't have to move too fast      Don't have to pass some test   We don't have to get with the grade   Yesterday's years away   They flicker and then they fade      Raise the shade, look outside   Leave your dreams back in bed   Through the forecast said sunshine   It's raining instead      Like the morning headline   In the newspaper read   It's your turn   It's your turn to live and learn      Find your shoes, walk outside   Shake the clouds from your head   Though the forecast said rain   You've got sunshine instead      Like the morning headline   In the newspaper read   It's your turn   It's your turn to live and learn
