When we were kids, our dreams were invincible When we were young, our whole lives ahead of us And it was well understood we'd all become astronauts And firemen Let's not pretend, we all become famous Let's not pretend, there's more to this than we hoped for We knew the rules When we were still children You blow it, you fail it Disappointment It's well on its way, well understood And you have a place to be {When we were young} Time on our hands Still out of our hands Just like rain {It rained so hard} Time ran away and left us afraid Your parents are proud You've got everything No passion at hand You'll be Ivy League It's more probable We all become salesmen You know it, you fear it Mediocrity It's well on its way, well understood And this is your life Don't apoligize for what you are Because you're a star I hope you find contentment I pray you find an answer 'Cause life is better than your occupation Revelation When we {When we were young} Were Time on our hands Still out of our hands Just like rain {It rained so hard} Time ran away and left us afraid When we {When we were young} Were Time on our hands Still out of our hands
