Verse 1:
They say elders gain
the wisdom of years
As time goes by I fear
growing up and feeling
like the best years are done
Spend life waiting for
things that never come and

Chorus 1:
Hope When living through
the memories of youth
Hope When repetition
guides you
Hope When wondering how
you wound up this way
I hope the wisdom’s
worth the wait

Post Chorus: Bb-F-Gm-Eb-Bb-F-Eb--

Verse 2:
Life’s mold gradually
enfolds you
Uniqueness given up to
be accepted by your peers
Come in from your 9 to 5
Hang your coat and tie
High School yearbook’s
still on the nightstand

(Repeat Chorus 1)

Interlude: Bb-F-Gm-Dm-Eb-Bb-F--

Bridge:
Salutations and
“How’s your day been?”
routine superficial
conversations
They’ve Gotten too deep
but somehow you keep
working to afford another
[F–]day you’ll live to hate

Chorus 2:
Hope When living through
the memories of youth
Hope When repetition
guides you
Hope When wondering how
you wound up this way
I hope I never fall in line
I’ve seen it one too many times
I hope the wisdom’s
Bb(hold)
worth the wait

Just get out on that floor

and a little bit rock and roll
They’re gonna kick this party

Come along we can

We can do the jump baby

Shimmy up and down
the Samba line
Just get out on that floor
baby do this all night
