When we were young
the world seemed
so old
Careless and cold
We did what
we were told
in our lives
When we were young
Had the world
by the tail
Good would prevail
Starships at sail
And none of
us would fail
in this life
Not when you're young
We were drawn
to whoever
could keep
us together
And bound by the
heavens above
And we tried
to survive traveling
at the speed of love
Wo ooh
When we were young
When we adored
the fabulous
Wo ooh
When we were young
We were the
foolish fearless
Never knowing
the cost of
what we paid
Letting someone
else be strong
Wo ooh
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
the firelight
And the innocent
are getting over
being old tonight
Wo ooh
When we were young
When everything was
what it seemed
Wo ooh
When we were young
And every day was
how we dreamed
Never knowing
the cost of what
we paid letting
someone else
be strong
Wo ooh
When we were young
And when you
look at
yourself tonight
Are you someone
you recognize
You can take
back what you've
given away
but it must
be the last time
Wo ooh
When we were young
Wo ooh
When we were young
When we were young
Wo ooh
When we were young
When we adored
the fabulous
Wo ooh
When we were young
We were the
foolish fearless
Wo ooh
When we were young
We didn't know it
wouldn't last
Wo ooh
When we were young
