Blind Faith and Blind Love

Blind faith and blind love

Go hand in hand

When you’re just 16 and

You think you’re a man

You’re life is a breeze

You’ve got it all planned out

But you’ve really no idea

What life’s all about

You’re future is bright

You’ve nothing to lose

There are so many possibilities

For you to choose

Sixteen is now twenty-four

You can’t believe all the closing doors

You’ve opened your eyes

To love’s strange ways

Now you just yearn

For those glory days

Frustration and hope

Go hand in hand

When your just 24 and

You think you’re a man

Now you think 

You’ve got it all figured out

But you can be sure

You don’t know what life’s about

It’s just the dreams of youth

We wish they’d stay

It’s awfully hard when

Reality washes dreams away
