The Young Ones
Embracing Youthful Love: The Beauty of Living and Loving Fearlessly
Lyrics
The young ones,
The speaker refers to a group of young individuals.
Darling we're the young ones,
Expressing endearment, addressing the young group as "Darling."
And young ones shouldn't be afraid.
Encouraging the young ones not to be afraid.
To live, love
Encouraging living and loving while passion is strong.
While the flame is strong,
Emphasizing the transient nature of youth.
For we won't be the young ones very long.
Highlighting that youth won't last forever.
Tomorrow,
Referencing the concept of tomorrow.
Why wait till tomorrow,
Questioning the delay in taking action until the next day.
Tomorrow sometimes never comes.
Suggesting that sometimes tomorrow may never come.
Love, me,
Expressing a plea for love.
There's a song to be sung
Highlighting the presence of a song that should be sung.
And the best time is to sing while we're young.
Suggesting that the best time to sing is while young.
Once in every lifetime
Introducing the idea of a unique, once-in-a-lifetime love.
Comes a love like this.
Describing the rarity and significance of the mentioned love.
I need you and you need me.
Expressing mutual dependence and need in the relationship.
Oh my darling can't you see.
Pleading for understanding of this mutual need.
Young dreams
Emphasizing the idea of shared dreams among the young.
Should be dreamed together,
Asserting that young hearts shouldn't fear.
Young hearts shouldn't be afraid.
Projecting into the future and advising against fear in love.
And some day when the years have flown
Anticipating a time when the current young ones will have their own.
Darling, this will teach the young ones of our own.
Conveying that the experiences will serve as lessons for future generations.
The young ones
Reiteration of the initial reference to the young ones.
Darling, we're the young ones
Repeating the endearment and acknowledgment of being young.
The young ones
Repetition of the idea that they are the young ones.
Darling, we're the young ones.
Reiteration of the endearment and acknowledgment of youth.
