about

Shoot for the moon, even if you miss you’ll land among the stars.

Remember how you felt when they told you that? Like life was full of endless possibilities.

Do you want to feel that way again? This song recaptures the magic we felt when we were young.

lyrics

When we were young,
We were promised the world,
But all we got was this t-shirt.
When we were young,
They said to shoot for the moon,
But now we’re stuck up in the atmosphere
And everything’s gone to sht!

Rewind the tape and play it back again,
Let’s do this from the start.

We are the princes and princesses of the glory days,
We were raised on a dream.
We are strong and beautiful, I don’t care what they say,
Even if we’re penniless,
Still look like royalty to me.

When we were young,
We didn’t as them for anything,
But we got a world full of problems.
When we were young,
They said that we could be anything we want,
Well, we wanna have a good time,
Is that too much to ask?

Rewind the tape and play it back again,
Let’s do this one more time.

We are the princes and princesses of the glory days,
We were raised on a dream.
We are strong and beautiful, I don’t care what they say,
Even if we’re penniless,
Still look like royalty to me.

We’re living month to month and we’re giving it all we’ve got,
Even though our attention spans are shot.

We are the princes and princesses of the glory days,
We were raised on a dream.
We are strong and beautiful, I don’t care what they say,
Even if we’re penniless,
Still look like royalty to me.
