"Seventeen"

I want to see the world,
Witness life for all it's worth.
Take a trip to somewhere new,
Somewhere quaint and with a view.

I want to live my life for me,
So who I am is who I'm meant to be.

They say I'm only seventeen I've still
got time,
I'm only seventeen I've still got time.

But the days go by oh so fast,
And if happiness was made to last,
Then all of us would find it in the end.

I want to find myself a girl,
Take her in, give her the world.

They say I'm only seventeen I've still
got time,
I'm only seventeen I've still got time.

But the days go by oh so fast,
And if happiness was made to last,
Then all of us would find it in the end.

And where there's hope there's
always fear,
And chances seem to disappear,
So take them while they're still yours
to have.

I want to change the world,
Make my mark for what it's worth.

They say I'm only seventeen I've still
got time,
I'm only seventeen I've still got time.

But the days go by oh so fast,
And if happiness was made to last,
Then all of us would find it in the end.

And where there's hope there's
always fear,
And chances seem to disappear,
So take them while they're still yours
to have.

I'm only seventeen I've still got time.

I'm only seventeen I've still got time.
