When we were young it seemed we owned the world,
A mixed up band of distracted boys and girls.
We always had our heads in the clouds,
But when we believed in something we screamed for it loud.

Now we're spread from town to town,
All our dreams are dust on the ground.
I've had friends die walking the streets,
Seen suicides and several ODs.

We always pushed ourselves to grow up fast,
Now our wish comes true at last.
Right out of school Will has two kids,
Lives to support instead of living his.

A close friend was blindsided by cancer,
Don't have the heart to tell her religion ain't the answer.
Her parents tell her all she can do is pray,
As I sit and watch her get worse each day.

I miss the times we had when we were kids,
No obligations, full of innocence.
But now it seems we can't find the light,
They said it first, The Kids Aren't alright...
