When We Were Young

Do you remember a time
Before doubt ruled our minds?
We were young and brave and unafraid
Unknown to loneliness
In this garden we’d explore
With muddy knees and dirty paws
We’d build great kingdoms with castles of sand
Slayed dragons every day
Now pressure mounts on concrete walls
Time slips by through bitter winds
Keep my soul from growing old
Guard my joy
Keep these eyes wild like
When we were young
Matured through fear older more than years
Stiff upper lip, the Englishmen say
Doubters and cynics, they bind with their tongues
And time just slips away
Now pressure mounts on concrete walls
Time slips by through bitter winds
Keep my soul from growing old
Guard my joy
Keep these eyes wild like
When we were young
Keep my soul from growing old
Guard my joy
Keep these eyes wild like
When we were young
