When We Were Young

[Intro] Verse 1: We ran through fields, our hearts in the sky, Dreams as wide as the summer days were long. No shadows under the innocent sun, We lived like the world would never steer us wrong. Chorus: When we were young, the stars sang our names, Life was a game, with laughter and no pain. Oh, how the time slips quietly away, How sweet was the ignorance, in those golden days. Verse 2: Pages turn, the chapters unfold, With lessons harsh in the truth they hold. Wiser now, but the costs run deep, Bittersweet the memories we choose to keep. [Instrumental] [Instrumental] Chorus: When we were young, the stars sang our names, Life was a game, with laughter and no pain. Oh, how the time slips quietly away, How sweet was the ignorance, in those golden days. Bridge: Eyes wide open to the coming of the night, Each year a whisper, each moment a light. Walking this road, the joys I understand, But oh, to feel once more, that young, untouched land. [Instrumental] Verse 3: Now we step with a careful tread, Knowledge gained and tears we've shed. But in the quiet, sometimes I find, Echoes of peace, left far behind. Chorus/Outro: When we were young, the stars sang our names, Life was a game, with laughter and no pain. Oh, how the time slips quietly away, Missing the sweetness of ignorance, in those golden days. [Outro]
