Текст Matt McAndrew – In My Youth

I wish I was a hero
Cut from a different time
I wish I was a rebel
I wish I walked the line

Tonight my heart is broken
It went sinking with the sun
They told me I was reckless
Once I held a loaded gun
But I was bulletproof
When I was in my youth

I wish I was a poet
Who paints the world in words
I wish I was a singer
Like nothing you have heard
I wish I sparrow
Or any kind of bird
At peace upon the wild wind
That’s blowin’

I’m looking for my freedom
Down a sweet untraveled road
Far off past the schoolhouse
Where you pushed your moral code
You bent the truth
When I was in my youth

I wish I was a partisan
With something to declare

But if you keep your head up
You can wish upon a star
And even if you’re fed up
Just remember who you are
You’re bulletproof
And you’re still in your youth
