When You Are 18 - Celtic Thunder/Damian McGinty

作词：Phil Coulter

作曲：Phil Coulter

When you are １８

You're a man who is ready

Who is strong and is steady

You know what I mean

When you are １８

Then you should be respected

And you don't need protected

When you are １８

When you are １８

You are braver and bolder

Than that crowd who are older

You know who I mean

Cause when you are １８

With all those years to prepare you

There's nothin' can scare you

When you are １８

I'm ready to travel

To follow my star

To the places I've been dreamin' of

I'm ready for livin'

I'm ready for life

And I know that I'm ready for love

But when you are １８

They say love's complicated and so over-rated

You know what I mean

When you are １８

They say wait and don't worry

And hey what's your hurry

Cause you're only １８

I'm ready to travel

To follow my star

To the places I've been dreamin' of

I'm ready for livin'

I'm ready for life

And I know that I'm ready for love

When you are １８

With the world all around you

It can sometimes astound you

You know what I mean

Just how little they know ha

All those cowboys and chancers

I've got more of the answers

And I'm only １８
