Lyrics

Sit back and watch my clock
As time moves in one direction
Even if I stop the time on my watch
Time nuh stop even for a second
Mother leave home, tell her kids dem later
Soon come back has turned into never
Life is such a mystery, filled with joy and misery
Hmm, so many people pass
And the ones weh do the damage still deh yah, hey
Many daughters, many sons
Never live to see what they could become, hey
It’s so sad to see
The broken possibilities
The endless opportunities
Of what their lives could be
The good die young
The good die young, oh, oh
And it’s so wrong, it’s so wrong, yeah-eh
Hope their names won’t be forgotten
In a world that is so cold
Oh, one day they’ll feel the warm rays of the sun
Hmm, the good die young
Chances given, never to be taken
Just the ones that would do their best
That always seem forsaken
In times like these, the Saviour we question
Oh, why is it like this, oh Lord, oh Lord
Untold stories, unfilled dreams
Never ending uncertainties, unkept promises
Ooh, c’est la vie
So goes the journey
And only Jah know the half
When present turn to past
Another life cut short
The good die young
The good die young, oh, oh
And it’s so wrong, it’s so wrong, yeah-eh
Hope their names won’t be forgotten
In a world that is so cold
Oh, one day they’ll feel the warm rays of the sun
Hmm, the good die young
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
The good die young, hey
And when it’s all said and done
The good die young, yeah
Many races left to run
Many victories to be won, ooh, it’s so sad
The good die young
The good die young, oh, oh
And it’s so wrong, it’s so wrong, yeah-eh
Hope their names won’t be forgotten
In a world that is so cold
Oh, one day they’ll feel the warm rays of the sun
Hmm, the good die young
Hey, Lord, the good die young
The good die young
Good die young
Ooh, Lord, and the good die young yo
Ooh, yeah-eh
