Great song. Lyrics that make me think and reflect.  Just a light hearted message I wanted to share because I’m always amazed at how songs can speak to me, no matter if its the 1st or the 100th time I’ve heard it.  I attached a video of Eddie Vedder playing the song if you’d like to listen as you read the lyrics.  {My thoughts are in the brackets}


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.

 

{God is savior and
protector.

Follow Him and blessing
flow.

Do Good.  Be Kind. 
Love Gently.

Be complimentary and
encouraging.

Don’t turn away kindess from
others.

Set loafty goals and do what
it

takes to accomplish them.

Love living.  Live loving.

Make your passion you work.}

 

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.

 

{Grow up in God, Grow closer
to God.

Be honest in all situations.

Seek the gospel truth.

Know that God is always
around, no

matter how dark it seems.

Be bold.  Be adventuous. 

Be loyal and respectable.}

 

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.

 

{Create something.  Anything.

Get exercise.  Go for a walk.

Plan roots in Fundamental
truths.

The world is unpredictable,

pray through the hard times.

Think of the good and lovely
things.

Leave a legacy.}
