Wild and Young

Smilin' child, king cake on your face

Wavin' at the giants in a mardi gras parade

Confetti in the air, like time passin' by

You're older now but there's still magic in your eyes

Time flies, stars fall

The world comes undone

But somehow you stay

Wild and young

You were born with a gypsy poet soul

Pop rocks in your shoes and freckles on your nose

A song on your lips and wonder in your heart

Faith like a river windin' through the dark

Time flies, stars fall

The world comes undone

But somehow you stay

Wild and young

Oh wild and young

When your mind wonders and your hair goes grey

Eyes dim and bones ache

I'll still see you as I do today

Cause your spirit's never looked its age

Time flies, stars fall

The world comes undone

But somehow you stay

Wild and young

When the time comes and heaven calls

And it's all said and done

I know you'll smile a smile

That's wild and young
