                             "Enter The Young"
                              (Terry Kirkman)

Jim Yester, in the liner notes to the Japanese _From The Original Master
Tapes_ CD (Warner/Pioneer WPCP-3536):

  This song was the group's selection for the follow-up single to "Along
  Comes Mary".  However, the regional breakout of "Cherish" in the midwest
  changed that choice.  The version for the "HITS" album was re-cut [AWR:
  I know - it blows dead bears] and not from the first album.  This could
  have been the theme song for the 60's youth movement.

	And some are flyin', some just glidin'
	                           
	Released after years of being kept in hidin'

	Enter the young (yeah)
	                
	More than you think they think
	                               
	Not only learned to think but to care
	                                
	Not only learned to think but to dare

Verse 2:

	()              
	Yeah, here they come
	                 
	Well, some with questions, some decisions
	            
	(Here they come)
	               
	And some with facts and some with visions
	                                
	Of a place to multiply without the use of divisions
	                                
	To win a prize that no-one's ever won

[repeat chorus]

	(Here they come, yeah)

	[fuzz guitar sustains open D next three lines]

	                             
	And some are doin', some are tryin'
	          
	Some are sellin', some are buyin'
	                          
	Some are livin', some are dyin'
	                                 
	But demanding recognition one by one

[repeat chorus]
