Growing up today
There’s many mountains you must climb
You’re not the only one
'Cause everybody’s on that line
Hey mister know it all
What do you recommend
You think you know the answers
But the questions never end
Young hearts better hold on Beyond the innocence
Your youth is gone
Better look in your mirror
You got nothing to lose
Don’t waste your time away
Thinkin' 'bout yesterday’s blues (yesterdays blues)
Born outta passion
To a world gone cold
Ya wear it on your shoulders
It’s a heavy, heavy load I know
Love and it’s emotions
Come knocking at your door
Young hearts will be broken
And time’s the only cure
Young hearts better hold on Beyond the innocence
Your youth is gone
Better look in your mirror
Itll tell you the truth
Don’t waste your love away
Thinkin' 'bout yesterday’s blues (yesterday blues)
Woooah yh!
Solo
Temptation makes us fall from grace
But the angels were sinners
And the sinners saints
Forgive yourself cause we’re all the same
Everybody rides on the karma train
Young hearts
Better hold on Beyond the innocence
Your youth is gone
Well Look in your mirror
It’ll tell you the truth (tell you the ruth)
Don’t waste your time away
Don’t waste your life away, no, no Live today
There’s no time to lose
Cause when tomorrow comes
It’s all just yesterday’s news
All just yesterday news, yesterday news, yesterdays news yesterdays news
This song reminds me of a spring day when I travelled thousands of kms to meet a special girl. We were both very young, but very mature at the same time. I waited for that May morning for so long.. Those were awful times, but music gave us the strenght, the hope to carry on and keep living. That date should have strenghtened our bond... Unfortunately, everything went fucked up, and we never met each other.
But still, this song holds a very special place in my heart. The fear of growing up, the hope for the future, the love and delusions of two young teens afraid to lose each other... This song is adolescence itself. I'm listening to it after a very long time... it used to make me cry. Now I just smile, as nostalgia takes me back in time. Such a good tune.

I dont know why richie'S solo career is not stronger..love his songs...the composition is true to form...taken from everyday situations...has a soul
ful voice.. Love the blues sounds on alot of his songs...great sounds
Quite clear how much Sambora was THE SOUND of Bon Jovi.. JBJ had the pipes and the looks absolutely.. And was always excellent, but I've always praised Richie for the overall sound, songs and thus the success.
