When we were young we used to sing
And we could feel the harmony
Youâ"š¬â"ž¢d sit there waiting in the wings
How long have you been waitinâ"š¬â"ž¢ to let your light shine?
Many years have gone since then
Seen us go our different ways
But now we sit here once again
Tonight weâ"š¬â"ž¢re gonna sing out, tonight our light will shine.
This is the time and place
To bring out our memories
Itâ"š¬â"ž¢s written on every face
I can see it in you, you can see it in me.
In all the years we had
As part of a family tree
We knew the good and bad
I can see it in you, you can see it in me.
I know itâ"š¬â"ž¢s left its mark on you
I see the same things in myself
You know thereâ"š¬â"ž¢s nothinâ"š¬â"ž¢ we canâ"š¬â"ž¢t do
Weâ"š¬â"ž¢ve been a long time waitinâ"š¬â"ž¢, but some things never die.
Itâ"š¬â"ž¢s time to leave all that behind
Itâ"š¬â"ž¢s time to lay that ghost to rest
We canâ"š¬â"ž¢t deny the ties that bind
Tonight weâ"š¬â"ž¢re gonna sing out, tonight our light will shine.
This is the time and place
To bring out our memories
Itâ"š¬â"ž¢s written on every face
I can see it in you, you can see it in me.
In all the years we had (when we were young we used to sing)
As part of a family tree (we could feel the harmony)
We knew the good and bad
I can see it in you, you can see it in me.
When we were young we used to sing...
