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.}
