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 lo......ve
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
And 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 every day 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 recognize?
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
