When we were young the world seemed so old Careless and We did what we were told in our lifes When we were Had the world by the tail Good would prevail 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) When we 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 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 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 what you've given away but it must the last time
(Who oh oh) we were young (Who oh oh) When we were young When we were young
