Eric Woolfson - 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 pa**ion, 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 pa**ion, 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
