I'm Young! (and Free)


When we were young the world seemed so old
Careless and cold
We did what we were told in our lives
When we were young
Had the world by the tail, good would prevail, starships would sail
And none of us would fail in this life
Not when you're young
We were drawn to whoever could keep us together
And bound by the heavens above
And we tried to survive
Travelling at the speed of love




Someone once told me, just because I'm still young; it doesn't mean that I can escape from all the responsibilities entrusted to me. Right now, I'm carrying such a huge burden over my shoulders that sometimes I wondered if I ever can do the job right. Once I even felt scared and wished that the burden was not there.
But it is the heavy stone that I'm carrying over my back that is pushing me forward. It taught me the power of struggling over hardship with faith that it's going to be okay in the end. It reminded me that if I can't carry this stone and give up, the next one will be much harder and it's going to be hell.
It made me realized that I must be strong. No compromise. No exceptions.
You just have to deal with it. 


In a moment of grace
A long leap of faith
There's still more glorious dawn awaits my life
I'm here with the lover
Then we burned the bridges we're crossing over
Just to see the firelight
And the innocent are getting over being old tonight


"When We Were Young" - Take That
