When you were young
You walked above the sea
You climb up to the clouds
When you were young
You buy your first car
You catch all your crazy friends
You go to the parties
Because you're the man
You run throw the flowers
Your magic powers
When you were young
Just learn all your secrets
Innocence of sinners
When you were young
You find someone new
That takes you to a strange place
That place they call love
But your just like a bee
That wants to be free
You live like that
When you were young
You run throw the flowers
Your magic powers
When you were young
Just learn all your secrets
Innocence of sinners
When you were young
You're running, you're dancing, you're jumping, you're crashing
And you have all the stars in the sky
They are shining for you
Oh,oh,Ohio
You'll always be the immortal one
A superstar for everyone
You run throw the flowers
Your magic powers
When you were young
You don't care about the future
You're just here for the present
When you were young
