Hey man. . . why save that hardship for the older you?
take it on now upon the younger you
don't be afraid when you fear your courage has
been mislaid
don't fret the flight on a dark and dangerous night

{CHORUS}
you're here to say ok
not here to stay, ok?
deliver us only this day
hey man. . .

why save that worry for the older you?
take it on now upon the younger you
don't panic your heart before the hard times start
don't tremble and quake
keep a steady float on the overwhelming wake

{CHORUS}
why save that overbearing weight for the older you?
go ahead take it on now upon the stronger you

{CHORUS}
