Will.i.ai.am - Young Believer.

[Verse 1] Pulled up slow beside the river bend, He lays back, thinking ’bout the life he’s in. Says, “Time keeps running like a one-way train… Am I still too young, or old with blame?” She kisses him before the moment fades, Took his promise like a fire in the rain. He tried to rise, but he was sinking fast— Heaven knows she’d hold on to anything that lasts. [Hook / Chorus] (All night) She wants a young believer— (Young believer, young believer) She wants a young believer. (All right) She wants a young believer. [Verse 2] Watching life through an open window frame, She spots a drifting dreamer with no name. He coughs as he strolls past her busted ride, But Heaven forbid she’d take a stranger at her side. Another wanderer with nothing left to lose, Cuts his hand but shrugs like he’s immune. She cries, “Where have all my heroes gone?” The ones from stories she grew up leaning on. [Hook / Chorus] (All night) She wants a young believer— (Young believer, young believer) She wants a young believer. (All right) But she wants a young believer. [Verse 3] Came down from north Washington state, Breadwinner’s tired, lying on the floor late. “We burn our brightest in these twenty years— Do we have to carry fifty more in fear?” [Hook / Chorus] (All night) He wants a young believer— (Young believer, young believer) He wants a young believer. (All right, all right) He wants a young believer. [Bridge 1] Do you remember all the old decisions? Do you remember every bill they made us pay? Or even yesterday— before the world changed shape? [Verse 4] Have you ever felt un-American, Just you and your idol singing higher than you can? Talking leather, glitter, neon everywhere, Searching for magic in a world stripped bare. Would you keep a razor Just in case your heart goes numb? Sit quiet on a bus full of survivors, Blushing at the shine of everyone. Ain’t that kind of love? Ain’t that almost love? It’s not the plastic dream they told you of— Her heart was shattered just like yours and— [Hook / Chorus] (All night) All night you want a young believer— (Young believer, young believer) You want a young believer. (All right, all right) You want a young believer. [Bridge 2] You’re not a hustler, not a king of the street, A hustler’s got diamonds and a crown on his seat. One fights for rhythm, one fights for soul, Mama works hard just to keep control. (I heard the news today, oh boy…) I got a dream and you got defeat— Ain’t there someone who can finally say “enough”? Ain’t there a woman strong enough to stand tough? Ain’t there a child we can hold without judging? Ain’t there a pen that still writes something true? Aren’t you proud of the faces that survived? Ain’t there one last song that can make me break down and cry? [Hook / Chorus] (All night) I want the young believer— (Young believer, young believer) I want the young believer. (All right) I want the young believer, young believer. [Outro] (Young believer, young believer) (I want the young believer) (All night) You want me, I want you— (Young believer, young believer) (All I want is a young believer) (All right) Young believer… young believer… (All night)
