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 singing oooohhhh, I'm singing oooohhhh,
I'm singing oooohhhh, I'm singing oooohhhh.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 utmost 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'll carry the torch.
Just promise you'll stand, you'll be strong.I'm singing oooohhhh, I'm singing oooohhhh,
I'm singing oooohhhh, I'm singing oooohhhh,
I'm singing oooohhhh, I'm singing oooohhhh,
I'm singing oooohhhh, I'm singing oooohhhh.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'd do it for you, I'd do it for you,
I'd do it for you, I'd 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.
