We were so young and easy br But not at all dumb br Our smiles implied what br We meant and not cynical sarcasm br br We thought we were totally free br And maybe that was damn right br Too impatient to grow up fast br Wasting our time and enjoying the br Simple life both night and day br br Too naive to believe that love br Would never fade away or die br Now it's rather late to regret br Over the values we didn't deny br br We haven't become the ones br That we as kids dreamed to be br Who intended to confront with br Such grovelling misery and collapse? br br We were willing to change the world br But the world has altered usbr br Aram Stefanianbr br
