Lyrics
When I was a boy
Reflecting on childhood
I dreamed of a place in the sky
Imagining a heavenly place
Playing in the fields
Recalling playing in open fields
Battling with my shields
Remembering pretend battles with shields
Bows made out of twine
Making bows from twine
I wish I could see this world again
Expressing a desire to see the world as a child
Through those eyes
Desiring to see the world through innocent eyes
See the child in me
Recognizing the child within
In my fantasy
Referring to a fantastical perspective
Never growing old
Yearning to remain forever young
Will we ever feel young again
Pondering if one will ever feel youthful again
Will we ever feel young again
Reiterating the question of regaining youth
Will we ever feel young again
Continuing to question the possibility of feeling young
We want to feel young
Expressing a collective desire to feel young
We want to feel young again
Reiterating the collective wish to feel young again
When I was a boy
Reflecting on the search for the unknown as a child
I searched for a world that's unknown
Desiring a world yet to be discovered
All we have is fun
Emphasizing the importance of fun
Everybody runs
Highlighting the shared experience of everyone running
Until the sun goes down
Until the end of the day
I wish I could see this world again
Expressing a wish to see the world anew
Through those eyes
Desiring to see the world with the innocence of a child
See the child in me
Recognizing the child within oneself
In my fantasy
Referring to a fantastical perspective, possibly nostalgic
Never growing old
Reiterating the desire to avoid aging
Will we ever feel young again
Questioning the possibility of feeling young again
Will we ever feel young again
Repeating the question of regaining youth
Will we ever feel young again
Continuing to question the possibility of feeling young
We want to feel young
Expressing the collective desire to feel young
We want to feel young again
Reiterating the collective wish to feel young again
Woah oh oh oh oh oh
Chorus with a universal longing for youth
Woah oh oh oh oh oh
-Woah oh oh oh oh oh
-Woah oh oh oh
