Eric Woolfson - When The World Was Young

Eric Woolfson

When The World Was Young

When the world had just begun
And the stars seemed so near
Every day was a race to be run

Not a moment to be lost
And the sky seemed so clear
Not a cloud, not a bridge to be crossed

Then our ears would hear the thunder
And our eyes would fill with wonder
As we'd watch the garden grow

But a golden age was dawning
And a rainbow's end was calling
And it soon was time to go

Every moment of the day
We would dance, we would play
And our souls were as free as the air

Tying ribbons in a bow
Pretty maids in a row
With the wind and the sun in our hair

But the overture was ended
And supremely independent
We would spread our wings and fly

At the risk of disillusion
In our innocent confusion
We were not afraid to try

So we run before we crawl
And we tumble and we fall
And our life is like a symphony
Just waiting to be sung
I remember when the world was...

Talking through the night
with companions we loved
Till the dawn filled our eyes with daylight

And the promises we made
All for one, one for all
As we dreamed of the wrongs we would right
With a golden road before us
And with God upon our side
We'd build a new Jerusalem

We were knights in shining armour
Full of passion, full of fire
We would never find again

So we run before we crawl
And we tumble and we fall
And we live on dreams and never think
Oh Lord, what have we done
In the garden when the world was young

And we couldn't see a shadow
If one flew across the sun
In the garden when the world was young

We were knights in shining armour
Full of passion, full of fire
We would never find again

So we run before we crawl
And we s/tumble and we fall
And our life is still a symphony
Just waiting to be sung
In that garden when the world was young

And we didn't see a shadow
When one flew across the sun
I remember when the world was young

Mirror lyrics:

I remember when the world was young
When one flew across the sun
And we didn't see a shadow

In that garden when the world was young
Just waiting to be sung
And our life is still a symphony
And we s/tumble and we fall
So we run before we crawl

We would never find again
Full of passion, full of fire
We were knights in shining armour

In the garden when the world was young
If one flew across the sun
And we couldn't see a shadow

In the garden when the world was young
Oh Lord, what have we done
And we live on dreams and never think
And we tumble and we fall
So we run before we crawl

We would never find again
Full of passion, full of fire
We were knights in shining armour

We'd build a new Jerusalem
And with God upon our side
With a golden road before us
As we dreamed of the wrongs we would right
All for one, one for all
And the promises we made

Till the dawn filled our eyes with daylight
with companions we loved
Talking through the night

I remember when the world was...
Just waiting to be sung
And our life is like a symphony
And we tumble and we fall
So we run before we crawl

We were not afraid to try
In our innocent confusion
At the risk of disillusion

We would spread our wings and fly
And supremely independent
But the overture was ended

With the wind and the sun in our hair
Pretty maids in a row
Tying ribbons in a bow

And our souls were as free as the air
We would dance, we would play
Every moment of the day

And it soon was time to go
And a rainbow's end was calling
But a golden age was dawning

As we'd watch the garden grow
And our eyes would fill with wonder
Then our ears would hear the thunder

Not a cloud, not a bridge to be crossed
And the sky seemed so clear
Not a moment to be lost

Every day was a race to be run
And the stars seemed so near
When the world had just begun
