When We Were Young

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 would 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 Travelling at the speed of love Wooaaah, when we were young When we adored the fabulous Wooaaah, when we were young We were the foolish fearless Never knowing the cost of what we paid Letting someone else be strong Wooaaah, when we were young In a moment of grace A long leap of faith There's still more glorious dawn awaits My life I'm here with the lovers (I'm here with the lovers) Then we burned the bridges we're crossing over Just to see the firelight And the innocent are getting over Being old tonight Wooaaah, when we were young When everything was what it seemed Wooaaah, when we were young And everyday was how we dreamed Never knowing the cost of what we paid Letting someone else be strong Wooaaah, when we were young And when you look at yourself tonight Are you someone you recognise? You can take back what you've given away But it must be the last time Wooaaah, when we were young Wooaaah, when we were young When we were young Wooaaah, when we were young When we adored the fabulous Wooaaah, when we were young We were the foolish fearless Wooaaah, when we were young We didn't know it wouldn't last Wooaaah, when we were young
