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)
