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 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

    Woah when we were young
    When we adored the fabulous
    Woah when we were young
    We were the foolish fearless
    Never knowing the cost of what we paid
    Letting someone else be strong
    Woah when we were young

    In a moment of grace
    A long leap of faith
    The still more glorious dawn awaits
    It's 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

    Woah when we were young
    When everything was what it seemed
    Woah when we were young
    And everyday was how we dreamed
    Never knowing the cost of what we paid
    Letting someone else be strong
    Woah 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

    Woah when we were young
    Woah when we were young
    When we were young

    Woah when we were young
    When we adored the fabulous
    Woah when we were young
    We were the foolish fearless
    Woah when we were young
    We didn't know it wouldn't last
    Woah when we were young Writer/s: GARY BARLOW, HOWARD DONALD, JASON ORANGE, MARK OWEN, ROBBIE WILLIAMS
