When We Were Young
When we were young the world seemed so oldCareless and cold, we did what we were told in our livesWhen we were young
Had the world by the tailGood would prevailStarships set sailAnd none of us would fail in this lifeNot when you're young
We were drawn to whoeverCould keep us togetherAnd bound by the heavens aboveAnd we tried to surviveTraveling at the speed of love
WhoaWhen we were youngWhen we adored the fabulousWhoaWhen we were youngWe were the foolish fearlessNever knowing the cost of what we paidLetting someone else be strongWhoaWhen we were young
In the moment of graceA long leap of faithThere's still more glory stored awayIt's my life
I'm here with the loversAnd we burn the bridges we're crossing overJust to see the firelightAnd the innocent are getting overBeing old tonight
WhoaWhen we were youngWhen everything was what it seemedWhoaWhen we were youngAnd every day was how we dreamedNever knowing the cost of what we paidLetting someone else be strongWhoaWhen we were young
And when you'll look at yourself tonightAre you someone you recognize?You can take back what you've given awayBut it must be the last time
WhoaWhen we were youngWhoaWhen we were youngWhen we were youngWhoaWhen we were youngWhen we adored the fabulousWhoaWhen we were youngWe were the foolish fearlessWhoaWhen we were youngWe didn't know it wouldn't lastWhoaWhen we were young
