When we were young the world seemed so old
Careless and cold
We did what we were told in our lifes
When we were young
Had the world by the tail
Good would prevail
Starships at sail
And none of us would fail in this life
Not when you're young
We were drawn to whoever could keep us together
And bound by the heavens above
And we tried to survive travelling at the speed of love
(wo oh oh)
When we were young
When we adored and fabulous
(wo oh oh)
When we were young
We were the foolish fearless
Never knowing the cost of what we paid letting someone else be strong
(who oh oh)
When we were young
In a moment of grace
A long leap of faith
The still more glorious dawn awaits
Just my life
I'm here with the lovers
And we burned the bridges
We're crossing over
Just to see the firelight
And the innocent are getting over
Being old tonight
(who oh oh)
When we were young
When everything was what it seemed
(who oh oh)
When we were young
And every day was how we dreamed
Never knowing the cost of what we paid letting someone else be strong
(who oh oh)
When we were young
And when you look at yourself tonight
Are you someone you recognize?
You can take back what you've given away but it must be the last time
(who oh oh)
When we were young
(who oh oh)
When we were young
When we were young
(wo oh oh)
When we were young
When we adored and fabulous
(wo oh oh)
When we were young
We were the foolish fearless
(who oh oh)
When we were young
We didn't know it wouldn't last
(who oh oh)
When we were young
