[Verse 1] What would your young self say to you now? Would they be disappointed, or would they stand proud? Have the dreams you carried all played out, or did you bury that fire just to drown it out? Your family’s still watching as the good days die, time don’t stand still, it just passes you by. The darkness came quiet to steal and destroy, to capture its prey and rob every ounce of your joy. [Chorus] Would they say to retreat? Would they stand and fight? Would they take the defeat? Would they hold you tight? Would they be there in your corner? Would they always have your back? Would they tuck tail and run? or would they forge an attack? It’s quite easy to figure out, Would they be proud, or would they have doubts? [Verse 2] What would your young self say to you now? Would they be smiling, or would they feel let down? Those goals that you wrote when the world was wide, have you crossed even one, or did you push them aside? You’re ignoring the words that once kept you alive, forgetting the tears you swore you’d never hide. Keep moving like this and you’ll die alone, cold in your old age with an empty home. [Chorus] Would they say to retreat? Would they stand and fight? Would they take the defeat? Would they hold you tight? Would they be there in your corner? Would they always have your back? Would they tuck tail and run? or would they forge an attack? It’s quite easy to figure out, Would they be proud, or would they have doubts? [Verse 3] What would your young self say to you now? Would they say you abandoned the vow? Those plans that you made are fading fast— you’re walking a path that’s covered in glass. Everybody sees that your sky’s gone gray, hurting for you as your dreams slip away. Should your young self pin you down to the ground, look you dead in the eyes while you’re breaking down? [Chorus] Would they say to retreat? Would they stand and fight? Would they take the defeat? Would they hold you tight? Would they be there in your corner? Would they always have your back? Would they tuck tail and run? or would they forge an attack? It’s quite easy to figure out, Would they be proud, or would they have doubts? [Outro] It’s quite easy to figure out, Would they be proud, or would they have doubts? What would your young self say about you today? Answer that question, without delay.
