[Verse 1]
  C                   G             
 A million young poets screamin' out their words
     C                          G            
 To a world full of people, just living' to be heard
C                                G           
 Future generations ridin' on the highways that we built
  F                       G  
 I hope they have a better understanding.


[Chorus]
          C                     G

        F                                    G
 Just to tell our souls we're still the young lions.

 Maybe some day those words will be heard
C                                  G        
 By future generations ridin' on the highways that we built.

 Maybe they'll have a better understanding.
