Featuring Youth - Torun Eriksen

Looking at a mechanism bigger than ourselves

It’s wandering out to consequences

Hacking into rules and fences

Only to discover their version of the truth

They only see what we’ve become

But do we even know our way back home

Featuring youth

No movie can compare

No science-fiction can prepare you for

The ways these feet will walk

Featuring youth

Prejudgments can be made

No words be served by us

That these minds won’t taste of their own

Looking into words and phrases

We don’t understand

Its new communicating takes

Samples from what youth create

Messages are sent but we always get them wrong

To get a clue you need to listen

More than once to a new song

Featuring youth

No movie can compare

No science-fiction can prepare you for

The ways these feet will walk

Featuring youth

Prejudgments can be made

No words be served by us

That these minds won’t taste of their own

Saying they

They can’t hear a word you’re saying

Can’t know that you’re praying for them to be strong

So why don’t you just speak out loud

And let them know they have nothing to prove

To make you proud

Featuring youth

No movie can compare

No science-fiction can prepare you for

The ways these feet will walk

Featuring youth

Prejudgments can be made

No words be served by us

That these minds won’t taste of their own
