So you're out to change the world   You can do it none too fast   You don't want to see your future   Wash away into the past   Now a change is gonna come   Say it's written on the streets   But there's a monkey on your back   Try to put him on a shelf   And you try to find in others   What you hide inside yourself      And you worry 'bout the war   And you try to understand   But forget about tomorrow   When you're playin' in the band      Stay young at heart   Stay young at heart   Stay young at heart   Stay young at heart      Now you've been around the world   Seen the shape of things to come   You begin to feel the damage   From the crazy things we've done   Now the lines are overdrawn   See 'em bleedin' down your face   And there's a sore and scary monster   Comin' after you      Stay young at heart   Stay young at heart   You can't be too wise   So open your eyes   Stay young at heart      Now you're weary from the war   But it's time to start again   And you don't know what you're fightin' for   But you'll fight until the end   Now forget about the future   Don'tcha try to understand   There's no need to fear tomorrow   Just keep playin' in the band      Stay young at heart   Stay young at heart   You can't be too wise   So open your eyes   Stay young, stay young   Stay young at heart
