When we were young the world seemed so old Careless and cold We did what we told in our lifes When we were young 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 at the speed of 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 knowing the cost of we paid letting someone else be strong (Who oh oh) When we were young
In a moment grace A long leap of faith The still more glorious dawn awaits 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 what you've given away but must be the last time
(Who oh oh) When we were young (Who oh oh) When were young When we were young
