We Were Free

When we were young
Not yet become the sum
Of our hopes and fears
The days would last
We had no past or pain
To jade our years

So we would run
The summer sun was all
That we needed then
Climbing the trees
Feeling the breeze upon
Our sunburned skin

(Chorus)
We were free to be
Anything we wanted to be
All we believed
Or even conceived

You and me were three-
Both of us and all our dreams
Finding our way
Through games that we play

(Bridge)
Take me back to yesterday
When our hearts and minds would play

Simple it was
Maybe because the things
That mattered then
Weren't the same
as we now claim to be
Like how much we gain

A summer friend
Love with no end
Forgive again and again
I now understand
That it's not the things that i
Can hold in my hand
