Songtext von When We Were Younger

When I was younger, I always thought I could be someone if I tried enough When I was younger, my father said Wear a smile, show respect When I was younger, you never said When I was older, I'd feel helpless When I was younger, you shone the light And now that I'm older, it doesn't shine bright When I was younger, you always said That as I got older, you'd always be there I'm singin' ooohhh, I'm singin' ooohhh I'm singin' ooohhh, I'm singin' ooohhh When I was younger, I used to care About everything that my father said When I was younger, you even told me Just show evil, the upmost respect When I was younger, I never thought That when I was older, I'd see you give up Now that I'm older, I carry the torch Just promise you'll stand and you'll be strong I'm singin' ooohhh, I'm singin' ooohhh I'm singin' ooohhh, I'm singin' ooohhh I'm singin' ooohhh, I'm singin' ooohhh I'm singin' ooohhh, I'm singin' ooohhh When I was younger, I never thought When I was younger, I never thought When I was older, I'd fight your wars When I was older, I'd fight your wars I'll do it for you, I'll do it for you I'll do it for you, I'll do it for you When I was younger, I only dreamed That when I got older, you'd be proud of me When I was younger, I promised you both That when I was older, you'd be proud of me
