When The World Was Young Lyrics
When the world had just begun
And the stars seemed so near
Every day was a race to be run
Not a moment to be lost
And the sky seemed so clear
Not a cloud, not a bridge to be crossed
Then our ears would hear the thunder
And our eyes would fill with wonder
As we'd watch the garden grow
But a golden age was dawning
And a rainbow's end was calling
And it soon was time to go
Every moment of the day
We would dance, we would play
And our souls were as free as the air
Tying ribbons in a bow
Pretty maids in a row
With the wind and the sun in our hair
But the overture was ended
And supremely independent
We would spread our wings and fly
At the risk of disillusion
In our innocent confusion
We were not afraid to try
So we run before we crawl
And we tumble and we fall
And our life is like a symphony
Just waiting to be sung
I remember when the world was...
Talking through the night
With companions we loved
Till the dawn filled our eyes with daylight
And the promises we made
All for one, one for all
As we dreamed of the wrongs we would right

With a golden road before us
And with God upon our side
We'd build a new Jerusalem
We were knights in shining armour
Full of passion, full of fire
We would never find again
So we run before we crawl
And we tumble and we fall
And we live on dreams and never think
Oh Lord, what have we done
In the garden when the world was young
And we couldn't see a shadow
If one flew across the sun
In the garden when the world was young
We were knights in shining armour
Full of passion, full of fire
We would never find again
So we run before we crawl
And we tumble and we fall
And our life is still a symphony
Just waiting to be sung
In that garden when the world was young
And we didn't see a shadow
When one flew across the sun
I remember when the world was young
