When We Were Young

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 who ever 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 the fabulous Wo oh oh When we were young We were the foolish 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 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 he fabulous Wo oh oh When we were young We were the foolish Who oh oh When we were young We didn't know it wouldn't last Who oh oh When We Were Young
