Lyrics
YOU ARE
Life, What is there now, nothing to do, but count
the days.
Remembering our youth, as if it were yesterday.
Nobody knows you, Nor do they care,
They stole the glory, of our, yester-years.
When all the while,
The world has passed you by.
Working for the golden years,
Now you barely get by.......so then why.
Chorus: What I would do,
To be where you are....., you are.
What I would do,
To be where you are....., you are.
What I would do,
To be where you are....., you are.
What I would do,
To be where you are....., you are......, you are.
Turned on the news today, wish I could make a
change.
In a world that's becoming, too hard to believe.
They promised me so much, and if I worked real hard.
From my empty pockets, I haven't seen much.., so far.
So far, all I've seen, is the work of their lies.
All that they can tell me, it's a blessing in disguise.....,
so they lied.
Chorus: (Repeat Chorus)
(SOLO)
Turned on the news today, ...........Wish I could make a
change.
