Too Young to Die

He used to fight, eyes open wide
But fear was there, like a knife in his side
Battle came but he refused to hide
Nothing ventured, nothing gained
You’ll never win until you play that game
That’s what he said, as he lay dying in pain
Too young to die
Never knew the reasons why
If you could turn back the hands of time
He’d still be too young to die
Why did he go? he could not resist
The price was high, it was death he kissed
We hoped and prayed it wouldn’t come to this, oh no!
Everything ventured, nothing gained
He was a pawn in a political game
Now he’s gone and still the question remains
Too young to die
Never knew the reasons why
If you could turn back the hands of time
He’d still be too young to die
When can we make it end?
When will we fly the wind?
Too young to die
Never knew the reasons why
If you could turn back the hands of time
(If you could turn back the hands of time)
If you could turn back the hands of time
He’d still be too young to die
