When we were young the world seemed so old Careless and cold We did what we told in our lifes When we were young Had the world by the tail Good would prevail Starships at sail And none of us fail in this life Not when you're young
We were drawn to whoever could keep together And bound by the heavens above And we to survive travelling at the speed of love
Chorus: (Wo oh oh) When we were young When we adored the fabulous (Wo 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 A long leap of faith The still more glorious dawn My life... ? I'm here with the lovers... ?
And we burned the bridges crossing over... ? Just to see the firelight And 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 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
