When we were young

We never gave thought

To what we’d be

To what we’d go and see

What we’d try

When we were young

We never thought our dreams

Would ever come

To be of any means

Of any means

We THOUGHT the world was ours

We STAYED outside and played for hours

We were the kings and queens of then

It’s been so long since then

When we were young we thought of everything

But now we stop

And I can barely sing

Barely sing

When we were young

We’d dance and pray and shout

We’d prance and just let it all out

Let it all out

We THOUGHT the world was ours

We STAYED outside and played for hours

We were the kings and queens of then

It’s been so long since then

It’s been so long since then

It’s been so long since we were young

It’s been so long since we were young

It’s been so long since we were young

Since we were young

We were young

When we were young

I thought that I’d be me

I never knew

That I’d be run by a company

Some sort of company

When we were young

I never thought what a turn out

Our dance and prance around the backayard

I never knew it’d be this hard

You’d never me say

What kind of bills now do I pay?

When we were young

We THOUGHT the world was ours

We STAYED outside and played for hours

We were the kings and queens of then

Take me back take me back

We THOUGHT the world was ours

We STAYED outside and played for hours

We were the kings and queens of then

It’s been so long

Since we were young
