Young Lion lyrics

Young man, it's been so heavy for you
You must have felt so alone
The anguish and pain
I should've known
With such a heavy burden
You had to carry all on your own
Forgive me, son
I should've known
So close your eyes
And feel the light
You shine like a sun
Shine like a sun
Young gun
See how far you've come
You were hiding down
Where you almost drowned
Then a light like yours
You can't put out
You shine like a sun
Shine like a sun
Young gun
So run down the mountains
Run down the hills of your dream
You are everything
You have everything you need
So run down the mountains
Run down the hills of your dreams
Feel the light
Shine like a sun
Young gun
See how far you've come
