Forgive the Children We Once Were

We grew up in golden light
 Every chance to get it right
 What did we do with it?
 It's gone, what I had back then is gone
 Can't get it back again
 Raised by kids who gave us names
 These grown up children we became
 Who spread the gossip and the shame
 We waited
 ♪
 We waited
 ♪
 For love, for dreams in the night
 For days to come when we'd be all right
 I can't remember why I did the things I did
 I was just a kid
 ♪
 All our lives we feel this young
 Sorry for the things we should have done
 Sorry for the kids we pushed too far
 Sorry now for all the lonely hearts who can't move on
 Because we waited
 We waited
 We waited
 We waited
 For love, oh, for dreams in the night
 For days to come when we'd be all right
 I can't remember why I did the things I did
 I was just a kid

 All the lines we knew back then, they now are faded
 All the laws we once obeyed, they have betrayed us
 People that I used to hate, I hardly remember
 Forgive the children we once were
 All the lines we knew back then, they now are faded
 All the laws we once obeyed, they have betrayed us
 People that I used to hate, I hardly remember
 Forgive the children we once were
 They now are faded
 They have betrayed us
 I hardly remember
 Forgive the children we once were
