(Acoustic

bassline)
Listen
close,
young
man
Yeah,
I’
m
talking
to
you
The
sun
is
rising
over
the
ridge
It’
s
time
to
wake
up
You’
re
running
hard,
burning
the
candle
at
both
ends
Chasing
shadows
where
the
muddy
river
bends
Toiling
every
single
day,
year
after
year
Trying
to
wash
away
the
doubt
and
the
fear
But
you’
re
building
your
house
upon
a
shifting
sand
Saving
your
dreams
in
the
palm
of
your
hand
When
the
water
rises,
the
current
pulls
it
all
away
Leaving
you
empty
at
the
end
of
the
day
Oh,
young
man,
can
you
hear
the
wind
blow?
There’
s
a
different
path,
a
way
that
you
should
go
Don’
t
be
throwing
your
sweat
into
the
river
tide
There’
s
no
shortcut
to
the
place
where
you
reside
Build
a
legacy,
let
it
stand
the
test
of
time
Start
your
climb,
yeah,
start
your
climb
Everybody
loves
the
taste
of
the
softest
life
But
it’
s
carved
out
by
blood,
by
sweat,
and
by
knife
Sacrifice
is
the
currency
you
gotta
pay
To
see
the
light
at
the
break
of
the
day
You’
re
moving
fast,
chasing
ghosts
in
the
street
While
the
world
waits
for
the
man
you’
re
gonna
meet
Slow
down
your
pace,
take
a
look
at
the
sky
Don’
t
let
your
best
days
just
pass
you
by
Oh,
young
man,
can
you
hear
the
wind
blow?
There’
s
a
different
path,
a
way
that
you
should
go
Don’
t
be
throwing
your
sweat
into
the
river
tide
There’
s
no
shortcut
to
the
place
where
you
reside
Build
a
legacy,
let
it
stand
the
test
of
time
Start
your
climb,
yeah,
start
your
climb
Wash
your
face,
step
out
into
the
morning
dew
The
beautiful
ones
are
waiting,
looking
up
to
you
Don’
t
you
bother
the
souls
who
paved
the
way
before
Just
open
your
heart
and
walk
through
the
door
It’
s
a
new
dawn,
a
fresh
start,
a
clean
slate
Don’
t
let
your
foolishness
seal
up
your
fate (
Soaring
fiddle
and
pedal
steel
melody)
If
you
got
ears
to
hear,
then
you
better
take
heed
Life
is
a
garden,
you
gotta
watch
the
seed
Work
with
your
hands,
but
work
with
your
mind
too
Because
the
world
is
gonna
teach
what
you
refuse
to
do
Hard
lessons
come
when
you
don’
t
listen
to
the
wise
Look
at
the
truth
reflected
in
your
own
eyes
Oh,
young
man,
can
you
hear
the
wind
blow?
There’
s
a
different
path,
a
way
that
you
should
go
Don’
t
be
throwing
your
sweat
into
the
river
tide
There’
s
no
shortcut
to
the
place
where
you
reside
Build
a
legacy,
let
it
stand
the
test
of
time
Start
your
climb,
yeah,
start
your
climb
Yeah,
it’
s
dawn
Wash
your
face,
step
out
Build
it
right,
build
it
strong
Young
man,
keep
moving
on (
Fiddle
fades
out
into
the
morning
breeze)
