We Were All So Young Lyrics
I was just eighteen, holding back the fright
Waiting in the wings on a Friday night
I walked on stage with my heart beating like a drum
It was strange but it felt like coming home
Like some deeper truth I had always known
And I couldn't wait to do it again when the show was done
And we were all so young, We were all so young
When did the time go by between a thousand cities and the wink of an eye
I guess I couldn't see with the hot spotlight shining down on me
I've always had this song on the tip of my tongue
And we were all so young, We were all so young
It was rock and roll about the gospel truth
And it caused a stir that was front page news
And we quickly learned that you can't please everyone
But we wanted to stand for what is real
For more than the money or a record deal
And as the critics all sneered we sang at the top of our lungs
And we were all so young, We were all so young
I know the times have changed
But the simple truth, it always stays the same
I never could have dreamed of the hope and joy that a song can bring
I've really got to say I'm a fortunate son
And we were all so young, We were all so young
Now the lights go down as the time gets near
And my thoughts flood back over thirty years
And I still feel just as good as when I first begun
As I gaze at you past the microphone
It's a different view than the one I've known
Now I'm playing my songs for your daughters and your sons
And we were all so young, We were all so young
I've traveled all around and one by one I've watched the walls fall down
But now the fight I find is to keep your edge in complacent times
You climb the ladder in faith, rung by rung
And we were all so young, We were all so young
