The eighth and title track on the album "To Be".

Lyrics:

To be young, to be free,
To be what it is you want to be is
All very well and so naive
To have fun, to have hair,
To be reckless here and everywhere
Is all very well if you achieve
What you want to be

I was young for a time
But my love for squash and crackers turned to cheese and wine
There’s no use reminiscing on a time long gone
Nothing last forever and the night goes on

I was caught in my prime
They say your twenties are the best you’ll ever feel in your life
Then why the hell do I feel like a waste of skin?
I’m not so thrilled of where I’m going or where I have been

I slowly age,
Well nothing lasts forever and the time will run away
One day I’ll say

To be young, to be free,
To be what it is you want to be is
All very well and so naive
To have fun, to have hair,
To be reckless here and everywhere
Is all very well if you achieve
What you want to be

Look at me, 23
And I’m not even a fraction of where I should be
I’m starting to believe that living is a con,
But nothing lasts forever and the night goes on

Should my name be in lights?
With my work being devoured at the highest heights
That is when I’ll think to when I wrote this song
And I hope I can remember how to sing along

I slowly fade,
Well nothing lasts forever and the body will decay
And then I’ll say

To be young, to be free,
To be what it is you want to be is
All very well and so naive
To have fun, to have hair,
To be reckless here and everywhere
Is all very well if you achieve
What you want to be

And where you want to go
And who you want to live with
And what you want to know
And how you spend your time
And when you open up
You’ll have wished you’d done it sooner
Everything would have been fine

Instead regretting,
Longing for youth can be upsetting
Still you remember what it’s like

To be young, to be free,
To be what it is you want to be is
All very well and so naive
To have fun, to have hair,
To be reckless here and everywhere
Is all very well if you achieve (You'll be!)
What you want to be
