When We Were Young

When we were young the world seemed so old

Careless and cold

We did what we were told in our lives

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 youngWe were drawn to whoever could keep us together

And bound by the heavens above

And we tried to survive traveling at the speed of loveWoah when we were young

When we adored the fabulous

Woah when we were young

We were the foolish fearless

Never knowing the cost of what we paid

Letting someone else be strong

Woah when we were youngIn a moment of grace

A long leap of faith

The still more glorious dawn awaits

It's my life

I'm here with the loversAnd we burned the bridges

We're crossing over

Just to see the firelight

And the innocent are getting over

Being old tonightWoah when we were young

When everything was what it seemed

Woah when we were young

And everyday was how we dreamed

Never knowing the cost of what we paid

Letting someone else be strong

Woah when we were youngAnd 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 timeWoah when we were young

Woah when we were young

When we were youngWoah when we were young

When we adored the fabulous

Woah when we were young

We were the foolish fearless

Woah when we were young

We didn't know it wouldn't last

Woah when we were young
