I am over 25, but you can trust me
I can understand just how you feel
I am over 25, but trust me
I've shared with you kids the same ideals

I once chased the same dreams you're pursuing
Just like you, I heard the flower song
I did everything that you are doing
So I won't put you down and say you're wrong

I know that there were times as I grew older
Times I'd cop out when put to the test
Times I was afraid the world might bust me
Times when I settled for what's second best

But in my own way, I tried to keep the torch alive
Because I always felt that you who are under 25
Would pick up where I faltered and go on a step or two
And when someone calls you brother, maybe this time it will be true

I am over 25, but you can trust me
Trust me 'cause I trust you
Trust in trust
Please, please trust me
Please trust me
Please trust me
