When I was just a little boy About the age of ten We lived by the lake In the middle of the mountains We ran through the dirt roads Past the waterfall We found an oasis Near the source of it all It was our time for falling down It was our time to shine It was our time to have it all And we never knew why We used to ride our bicycles Through the old winding streets Played by the lake With the rocks on the beach It was such a good life So innocent, so free Nobody cared What tomorrow was going to be It was our time for falling down It was our time to shine It was our time to have it all And we never knew why One friend got married The other OD’d I got a suitcase Sailed across the sea So far behind me Yet so close indeed Thinking ‘bout the good old days When things were so easy It was our time for falling down It was our time to shine It was our time to have it all And we never knew why No you never know why No you never know why No you never know why When we shine (repeat)
