When we were young
It wasn't so long
That life seemed so easy
The games that we played
But we couldn't stay there
We had to go somewhere
That's why we came here
That was when we were young

Do you remember, can you remember
When I played guitar, as you took my hand
Yes I remember, it was in September
When we sang about the promised land

When we were young
Life was such fun
We never really cared at all
About the days we skipped school
There was no time for sorrow
Never dreamed about tomorrow
But all that's left are memories
Of when we were young

Do you remember, can you remember
When I played guitar, as you took my hand
Yes I remember, it was in September
When we sang a song about the promised land

When we were young
We gazed into the sun
From beaches far away
I never heard you say how much you loved me
I only wanted to be free
Because I thought we were immortal
When we were young

It could have turned out differently
But that was not for us to know
Destroyed by insecurity
There was nowhere else to go

Do you remember when we were young?
And you were my only friend
We played the mystic games
And prayed those days would never end
