Youth is dangerous

If I could wrap you up in cotton wool
And save you from all the world
I'd take you now away from all the noise
I'd fight those waiting outside for you

But I can't
And it hurts to watch you
It kills me to see you cry

And I know that you would never forgive me
If I tried to protect you from them
But I have seen into the future
And I know

I know
That you are fighting a losing battle
When it is all the world
Or even just him
Against you.

I just pray you keep fighting
And you try to understand me
So when it is all the world
Clawing at your door

Its all the world
Against us.
