When You Are Eighteen

November 13, 2017

When you are eighteen

You're a man who is ready

Who is strong and is steady

You know what I mean?

When you are eighteen

Then you should be respected

And you don't need protected

When you are eighteen

You are braver and bolder

Than that crowd who are older

You know what I mean?

'Cos when you are eightenn

With all those years to prepare you

There's nothing can scare you

When you are eighteen

I'm ready to travel

To follow my star

To the places I've been dreaming of

I'm ready for living;

I'm ready for life

And I know that I'm ready for love...

When you are eightenn

With the world all around you

It can sometimes astound you

You know what I mean?

Just how little they know, ha!

All those cowboys and chancers

I've got more of the answers...

And I'm only eighteen

Edit: I have made a mistake (why do most of my conversations start with this???) I wrote this at like 11:30 at night so I forgot to add that this is NOT my song. I was tired, in my defense. This song actually is my favorite group Celtic Thunder, so please go check them out!!! Sorry for the confusion.
