When we were young the world seemed so old Careless and cold We did what we were in our lifes When we were young Had the world the tail Good would prevail Starships at sail And none of us would fail in this life Not when you're young
We drawn to whoever could keep us together And bound by the heavens above And we tried to survive at the speed of love
Chorus: (Wo oh oh) When 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 oh) When we were young
In a moment 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 And the innocent are getting over Being old...tonight
Chorus:
And when you look at yourself 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 young (Who oh oh) When we were young When we were young
