[Verse 1]

No Bogart, no Bergman, no Brando

No more Hemingway, no Hesse - the art ingrained in our marrow

So in retrospect does it not seem, that we lament the grace of greats as we do our youthful dreams?

But in nuance, we are capable of our own renaissance

A respiring anachronism to animate us

And as long as we sing, we can stay young like this

And we can

[Chorus]

Reinvent the world, like we used to, screaming

Years will wilt and I will mourn

I will decay until my body fades away

But my kindnesses are eternal (I am infinite, I will remain)

The years will wilt and I will mourn but

You’re as beautiful as the day you were born, and that’s true (You’re still here)

[Verse 2]

No Lennon, no Cash or Sinatra

No more Morrison, no Jackson - all with whom we were brought up

And so it seems I’m here interminably

Like I’m sewing all my stitches in lieu of my seeds

Like I'm grasping to sand in a salubrious sea

Youth slip faster through fingers, the harder I squeeze

And then I doubt if I’ll love anything

The way I loved those songs when I was seventeen

[Chorus]

Reinvent the world, like we used to, screaming

Years will wilt and I will mourn

I will decay until my body fades away

But my kindnesses are eternal (I am infinite, I will remain)

The years will wilt and I will mourn but

You’re as beautiful as the day you were born, and that’s true

(You’re still here)

[Bridge 1]

Friends raise you as much as family

(And I believe) this way, youth is sustained eternally

(And I believe) love is the only currency

And I believe, love is all that defines me

I now believe that time will increase your worth

That you’re as beautiful, as the day you were born

The truth is - we’re all scared, we’re all unprepared

But together we stand - look to your right, to your left

And breathe

(Still here with me, still here with me, still here with me)

You’re still here with me

[Bridge 2]

So were we born and raised to be the same?

No, no

We are not the same and there is no one way

We are each unique but we are equal

It’s your brush, your canvas and easel

Everyone must pave their own way

We have to change, we have to change

And if we don’t we’ll suffocate

[Chorus]

Reinvent the world, like we used to, screaming

Years will wilt and I will mourn

I will decay until my body fades away

But my kindnesses are eternal (I am infinite, I will remain)

The years will wilt and I will mourn but

You’re as beautiful as the day you were born, and that’s true (You’re still here)

[Outro]

You’re as beautiful as the day you were born, you're you
