Forever 17

Never thought it would be me

living in a shattered dream

How could this be the end for me?

What I wouldn't give to have

a life to live

a day to plan

Instead I'll be Forever 17

Could've lived out every dream

Could've been most anything

[Chorus]

Can someone wake me up?

I haven't lived yet, I'm only 17.

God did you forget

I'm just a baby and I don't want to be

Forever 17

I'll never have a bed to make

a test to take

a summer day

I'll always be Forever 17

Could've had a family

if things had worked differently

Instead I'll be Forever 17

Could I have just one more day?

A chance to learn from my mistakes?

[Chorus]

In a matter of a moment

Life fell before my eyes

Now I'm looking at the meaning of the miracle of life

Where were we going without even knowing the answer deep inside?

Foerever 17

So don't give up

you haven't lived yet

you're only 17

And God did not forget

you're just a baby...
