In Forever Young, singer/songwriter Joan Baez reminds us to be hopeful for our futures; have faith that all will unfold as it should; and that we should strive to succeed, while learning and taking courage from every step. She bestows the desire that we should be righteous and true to ourselves and our convictions. She encourages us to be strong and courageous, with a firm foundation to hold us in good steed when faced with difficulty. In this, a strong mind and the knowledge and the ability to cope and, therefore, move forward positively, will enable us to maintain prolonged youth. Similarly, living in the moment; being mindful of all that surrounds us; choosing to be joyful; keeping busy as opposed to idle; doing unto others as you would wish upon yourself; and staying active for optimal health and wellbeing--all are keys to staying 'forever young'.
Forever Young
Lyrics by Joan Baez
May God bless and keep you always
May your wishes all come true
May you always do for others
And let others do for you
May you build a ladder to the stars
And climb on every rung
May you stay forever young
Forever young, forever young
May you stay forever young.
May you grow up to be righteous
May you grow up to be true
May you always know the truth
And see the lights surrounding you
May you always be courageous
Stand upright and be strong
May you stay forever young
Forever young, forever young
May you stay forever young.
May your hands always be busy
May your feet always be swift
May you have a strong foundation
When the winds of changes shift
May your heart always be joyful
And may your song always be sung
May you stay forever young
Forever young, forever young
May you stay forever young.
