[Verse 1]
For the joy of innocence
Dreaming things that don't make sense
Keep me as a child
And for the things we've left behind
The space between our heart and mind
Keep me as a child

[Pre-Chorus]
For we've grown older than our God
We've grown older than our God

[Chorus 1]
You are forever young
Bright morning star and unsetting sun
You are forever young
Hear our Father singing out to us
When we've grown older than our God

[Verse 2]
For the gift of mountainside
Open fields and running wild
Keep me as a child
And for the times we've locked our doors
Built up walls and started wars
Keep me as a child
[Pre-Chorus]
For we've grown older than our God
We've grown older than our God

[Chorus 1]
You are forever young
Bright morning star and unsetting sun
You are forever young
Hear our Father singing out to us
When we've grown older than our God

[Bridge]
Love is running
Toward the shadows
Dying rising
Like an echo
Growing younger
In surrender, I'm letting go
Love is running
Toward the shadows
Dying rising
Like an echo
Growing younger
In surrender, I'm letting go woah-oh
Love is running
Toward the shadows
Dying rising
Like an echo
Growing younger
In surrender, I'm letting go
[Chorus 2]
Eternity is in His blood
When we've grown older than our God
Oh, eternity's running through my blood
When we've grown older than our God
