Don McLean - You Have Lived lyrics

You have lived such a gentle
Life upon this earth
That I am stunned by your sight
If I could give but a token
Of the love you have
Then I might not be this lonely tonight
Let them have their smug and their cool
Confined by fashion and peer
I love you for your courage
In this frightened atmosphere
I love you for your courage
In this frightened atmosphere
Oh, there are so few brave one's
Like you need I explain?
Never wondering what to do, what to venture
What to gain
And, you have loved, in a total way
From flesh to soul
You speak, without coy without pose
Your eyes can see that the
Emperor has lost his clothes


And what's more
You'll tell the whole world what he stole
Let them have their fad and their fix
Confined by fashion and peer
I love you for your courage
In this frightened atmosphere
I love you for your courage
In this frightened atmosphere
