Grass and love were forgotten, even rock'n roll changed
Life just kept going on
Some got stuck in the old wave
Those school days still make me smile
So we laughed through school and you did me good
In religion classes you sent me gold nuggets in notes
Have you been able to stay true to those words?
Always be young, courageous and look toward the light
You said so, the smiling boy, my friend
Try to improve the world, but remember that
for the human life just surviving is enough
You were given the Smiling Boy Statue, you were the prince of the quiet
And when we kissed in a school party, you talked to cover your confusion
Can a kiss still make you blush?
So, the statues were torn down and you played guitar
Telling good from bad was much easier back then
Is your eagerness still on the loose?
Always be young, courageous and look toward the light
You said so, the smiling boy, my friend
Try to improve the world, but remember that
for the human life just surviving is enough
Be free and may your every wish come true
You said so, young rebel
Try to improve the world, but remember that
in the human life the hardest part is right here and now
Always be young, courageous and look toward the light
You said so, the smiling boy, my friend
Have you been able to stay true to those words yourself?
Free, but not without a friend!
I hope you won't stay alone
