LYRIC FOR SALE

By Bernard Morris

(verse 1)
Like Jesus and Isaac Newton
Born on Christmas Day
Never done nothing wrong
Cruelly taken away
Your friends they will all grow old
While you stay fresh and young
Are Friends Electric
Was the last song that you sung

(chorus)
Forever young in our hearts
Growing old forbidden
Taken away when just 18
From the world we live in

(verse 2)
You were so very quiet
Some would say too deep
Teenagers tend to be that way
In peace now you sleep
All of us are born to die
It matters not the age
At which we leave this planet
But when I go I’ll die with rage

(chorus)
Forever young in our hearts
Growing old forbidden
Taken away when just 18
From the world we live in

(instrumental bridge)

(verse 3)
It’s sad you died so young
You never got to do
All the things you could have done
If death hadn’t taken you
But life is very short
Even for the very old
But after-life is eternal
Or so I have been told

(chorus)
Forever young in our hearts
Growing old forbidden
Taken away when just 18
From the world we live in
