When We Were Younger (Live At Wembley, UK / 2012)

[Verse 1]

When I was younger, I always thought

I could be someone, if I tried enough

When I was younger, my father said

"Wear a smile, show respect."

When I was younger, you never said

That when I was older, I'd feel helpless

When I was younger, you shone the light

Now that I'm older, it doesn't shine bright

When I was younger, you always said

That as I got older, you'd always be there

[Chorus]

I'm singing ooh

I'm singing ooh

I'm singing ooh

I'm singing ooh

[Verse 2]

When I was younger, I used to care

About everything, that my father said

When I was younger, you even told me

"Show evil, the utmost respect."

When I was younger, I never thought

That when I was older, I'd see you, give up

Now that I'm older, I'll carry the torch

Just promise you'll stand, you'll be strong

[Chorus]

I'm singing ooh

I'm singing ooh

I'm singing ooh

I'm singing ooh

I'm singing ooh

I'm singing ooh

I'm singing ooh

I'm singing oh

[Verse 3]

When I was younger, I never thought

When I was younger, I never thought

That when I was older, I'd fight your wars

When I was older, I'd fight your wars

[Chorus 2]

I'd do it for you

I'd do it for you

I'd do it for you

I'd do it for you

[Verse 4]

When I was younger, I only dreamed

That when I got older, you'd be proud of me

When I was younger, I promised you both

That when I was older, I'd headline Wembley
