When we were young the world seemed so old Careless 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 us would fail in this life Not when you're young
We were drawn to whoever could keep us together And bound by the above And we tried to survive travelling at the speed love
Chorus: (Wo oh oh) When we were young When we adored the fabulous (Wo oh oh) When we were young We were the foolish... ? Never the cost of what we paid letting someone else be strong (Who oh oh) we were young
In a moment of grace A long leap of faith 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 the innocent are getting over Being old...tonight
Chorus:
And when you look at yourself tonight Are you someone you recognize? You can take back what given away but it must be the last time
(Who oh) When we were young (Who oh oh) When we were young When we were young
