She sits in silence in the dark
The old grey house
Looks over the park
It's been so long
Since since anyone came
She can't remember a happy day
And all the people passing by
Oblivious to tears that she cries
And even the faces of family
Are fading now like mist on the sea
When we were young
We held the gun
Hoping we'd change the world
For the better
When we were young
We held the gun
Hoping we'd change the world
Forever
He steps into the room
Takes her arm like he used to do
Then out on the floor
They are dancing
Like they did once more
Take me back to when we were young
Take me back to the world we won
No one sees the me I used to be
And all the people passing by
They don't care if I live or die
Take me back to who I used to be
Her life was different in the war
A hero in silence that nobody saw
Dropped in darkness behind the lines
She risked her life a thousands times
An on the mantle her partner stares
Military stance and debonaire
The photo the last she would ever see
He gave his life so we could be free
When we were young
We held the gun
Hoping we'd change the world
For the better
When we were young
We held the gun
Hoping we'd change the world
Forever
He steps into the room
Takes her arm like he used to do
Then out on the floor
They are dancing
Like they did once more
Take me back to when we were young
Take me back to the world we won
No one sees the me I used to be
And all the people passing by
They don't care if I live or die
Take me back to who I used to be
Lead
Take me back to when we were young
Take me back we got things done
Take me back to when we were young
Take me back we got things done
Take me back again
She sits in silence in the dark
The old grey house
Looks over the park
It's been so long
Since since anyone came
She can't remember a happy day
And all the people passing by
Oblivious to tears that she cries
And even the faces of family
Are fading now like mist on the sea
When we were young
We held the gun
Hoping we'd change the world
For the better
When we were young
We held the gun
Hoping we'd change the world
