[Verse 1]
Young man
It's been so heavy for you
You must have felt so alone
The anguish and pain
I should have known
With such a heavy burden
You had to carry all on your own
Forgive me, son
I should have known
[Pre-Chorus]
So close your eyes
Arms open wide
And feel the light
Arms open wide
[Chorus]
You shine like a sun
Shine like a sun
Young gun
See how far you've come
[Verse 2]
You were hiding down
Where you almost drowned
Then a light like yours
We can't put out
[Chorus]
You shine like a sun
Shine like a sun
Young gun
[Bridge]
So run down the mountains
Run down the hills of your dreams
You are everything
You have everything you need
So run down the mountains
Arms open wide
Run down the hills of your dreams
Arms open wide
[Chorus]
Feel the light
Shine like a sun
Young gun
See how far you've come
