Forever Young

Since Thanksgiving is coming up, I figured I would pick a song that rings true to me around this time of year. The song that came to mind is Forever Young by Bob Dylan. The song is not only the theme song on one of my favorite shows Parenthood, but it is also a great example of a set of lyrics that is about family and friends. The song is simply a list of wishes that a person has for another person. All of these wishes are hopes that another person will live up to their greatest potential in life. I have posted the lyrics below.

May God bless and keep you always
May your wishes all come true
May you always do for others
And let others do for you
May you build a ladder to the stars
And climb on every rung
May you stay forever young
Forever young, forever young
May you stay forever young.

May you grow up to be righteous
May you grow up to be true
May you always know the truth
And see the lights surrounding you
May you always be courageous
Stand upright and be strong
May you stay forever young
Forever young, forever young
May you stay forever young.

May your hands always be busy
May your feet always be swift
May you have a strong foundation
When the winds of changes shift
May your heart always be joyful
And may your song always be sung
May you stay forever young
Forever young, forever young
May you stay forever young.
