When we were young the world seemed so old Careless and cold We did what we were told our lifes When we were young Had the world by the tail Good would Starships at sail And none of us would fail in this life 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
Chorus: (Wo oh oh) we were young When we adored the (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) 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 bridges We're crossing over... ? Just to see the firelight And the innocent are getting over old...tonight
Chorus:
And when you look at yourself tonight Are you someone you recognize? You can back what you've given away but it must be the time
(Who oh oh) When we were young (Who oh oh) When we were young When we were young
