mighty die young - Joy Oladokun

作词：Olubukola Oladokun

作曲：Olubukola Oladokun

carry my load

like you carry my songs

it's a long road

and i'm a little star drunk

don't give me your roses

just carry me home

when the spotlight grows cold

the applause don't mean much

the mighty die young

glitter in their hair

smoke in their lungs

the mighty die young

feathers in their hair

stardust on their tongue

I wanna grow old

i'm not mighty

i've only just begun

the mighty die young

they say i'm too old

for hollywood's shine

and maybe they're right

i've got a wrinkle in my smile

I wanna see it grow

they say i'm too kind

maybe i'll keep that in mind

i've been robbed of my dignity

one too many times

the mighty die young

glitter in their hair

smoke in their lungs

the mighty die young

feathers in their hair

stardust on their tongue

I wanna grow old

i'm not mighty

i've only just begun

the mighty die young
