Young and foolish, we walked the frozen lake.
We did it on a bet.
What kind of stupidity did it take?
What could have resulted in heartache
is the nightmare I dream of yet.
Young and foolish, we walked the frozen lake.
Even now the memory makes me shake
with a terror I can't forget.
What kind of stupidity did it take?
Too late we realized the folly of our mistake,
the enormity of life's threat.
Young and foolish, we walked the frozen lake
And treading gingerly now to not tempt fate,
we wondered with minds fraught with regret,
what kind of stupidity did it take?
So at last for reason's sake
we turned back to where ice and shore met.
Young and foolish, we walked the frozen lake.
What kind of stupidity did it take?
