Lyrics
As we were young
Reflecting on the past when the speaker and others were young
We believed in wonder
Believing in the magic and beauty of life
The shadows of our unfeigned souls
Acknowledging the genuine nature of their souls
We were so much stronger
Feeling a sense of strength during youth
A sweet life, unrestrained and wild
Describing the past as a carefree and untamed existence
A sweet life, glad to be a child
Expressing joy and contentment in the simplicity of childhood
A sweet life, we had no price to pay
Emphasizing the absence of a cost or burden in their earlier life
A sweet life, day by day
Highlighting the ease and enjoyment of each day during youth
As we were young
Reiterating the perspective of looking back at their youth
We ran through the fields
Recalling carefree moments of running through fields
We let things take their course
Accepting the natural flow of events without hiding anything
Had nothing to conceal
Having nothing to hide or be ashamed of during that time
As we were young
Continuing the reminiscence of youth
We could move mountains
Feeling a sense of invincibility and limitless possibilities
Our childlike heart and soul
Recognizing the strength derived from a childlike heart and soul
Were our strength's fountain
Referring to the purity and innocence as the source of strength
A sweet life, unrestrained and wild
Reiterating the carefree and untamed nature of their past
A sweet life, glad to be a child
Expressing happiness in being a child during that time
A sweet life, we had no price to pay
Emphasizing the absence of a cost or burden in their earlier life
A sweet life, day by day
Highlighting the ease and enjoyment of each day during youth
A sweet life
Summarizing the past as a sweet and enjoyable life
