Jason Blaine - We Were That Song Lyrics

I was just eighteen, choking back the fright
Waiting in the wings on a Friday night
And 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 (all so young)

When did the time go by, between a thousand cities and the wink of an eye?
We were all so young, I guess sometimes I just could not see
With that bright 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 'bout 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
As the critics all sneered, we sang at the top of our lungs
We were all so young (we were all so young)
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
We were all so young
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
Hey yeah, we were all so young
We were all so young, yeah, yeah
We were all so young

Now the lights go down as the time gets near
And my thoughts flood back over thirty years
I still feel just as good as when I first begun
As I gaze at you past the microphone
It's a different view from 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)
We were all so young (we were all so young)
Yeah

I've traveled this world around
And one by one I've watched the walls fall down
And we were all so young
The hardest thing I find is to keep my focus in complacent times
You climb the ladder in faith, rung by rung
Yeah, we were all so young, we were all so young
Man, we were all so young (we were all so young)
We were all so young (all so young)
Yeah, yeah
So young, oh
