Behnglave - When We Were Young Lyrics

Well it all started when we were young and free
Held in parental captivity
Everybody was a friend to me
Long time ago when we were young
We would play in the yards and in the streets
But they'd tell us to be quiet and stay in our seats
We would dream of all the things that you just couldn't beat
Long time ago when we were young
But nothing has changed
We still play, we still dream, we still cry
We still seem like we're living in a paradise that's collapsing inside
Well we started growing older and becoming more wise
We had the power to open our eyes
There was something that tried to free the kid inside
Long time ago when we were young
But nothing has changed
We still laugh, we still sing
We still try to get by all the bad things in life that we share that we finally see
But nothing has changed
We're still out in the world, trying hard to get heard
But we can't so we cry and we wish to be young again
We were never alone in the dark or day and are parents would always try to keep us safe
But the times are changing and they're not that way anymore
Long time ago when we were young
Long time ago when we were young

Well it all started when we were young and free
Held in parental captivity
Everybody was a friend to me
Long time ago when we were young
We would play in the yards and in the streets
But they'd tell us to be quiet and stay in our seats
We would dream of all the things that you just couldn't beat
Long time ago when we were young
But nothing has changed
We still play, we still dream, we still cry
We still seem like we're living in a paradise that's collapsing inside
Well we started growing older and becoming more wise
We had the power to open our eyes
There was something that tried to free the kid inside
Long time ago when we were young
But nothing has changed
We still laugh, we still sing
We still try to get by all the bad things in life that we share that we finally see
But nothing has changed
We're still out in the world, trying hard to get heard
But we can't so we cry and we wish to be young again
We were never alone in the dark or day and are parents would always try to keep us safe
But the times are changing and they're not that way anymore
Long time ago when we were young
Long time ago when we were young
